There are always many jobs to do around the garden in July, but admittedly it isn’t always an ideal month for pruning. Knowing what you should and shouldn’t trim this month ensures your plants are protected from harm and prevents you from badly affecting future displays.
It is important to understand which specimens in your garden are plants to prune in July, and which should be left alone. In July, many plants may be under severe heat stress and be badly affected if pruned during a heatwave. You also have spring-flowering plants to avoid as they are busy developing buds for next year, and trimming some evergreens and trees can leave them at risk.
