The onset of spring means pruning time has arrived for gardeners. It is a busy time as lots of shrubs and trees need to be trimmed and perennials left over from winter should be cut back.
Just because there are a lot of plants to prune in spring, it does not mean you should go out into the backyard and trim everything. There are spring-flowering shrubs that should not be pruned to preserve blooms and trees whose health can potentially be damaged by being trimmed at this wrong time of year.
