With the mix of late spring showers and early summer sun, it's likely your garden has burst forth with new growth and fresh blooms. After the first flourish, knowing what things to prune in your garden in June will ensure plants, shrubs and trees remain healthy throughout the summer and into the next growing season.
Trimming back dead branches, straggly twigs, expired flowerheads and dried leaves, allows plants, shrubs and trees to put energy into new growth instead of old. 'In June, pruning tasks in the yard typically focus on promoting healthy growth, maintaining shape, and removing any dead or diseased branches,' says Phil Catron, president and founder of NaturaLawn® of America.
