June is a busy time in the garden. Trees, shrubs and perennials are producing new shoots, and as temperatures rise, this new growth can be surprisingly rapid. While it is a joy to see lush new foliage and flowers in the yard, certain plants will benefit from spring pruning, and doing so now will improve plant shape and health for the coming months.
It is important to remember that not all plants should be trimmed and tidied in June, and pruning at the wrong time can do serious damage to plants. For this reason, it is best to adopt a considered approach to garden maintenance, identifying what plants to prune in spring, while also making a note of what not to prune.
