Pruning can do wonders for the health and appearance of plants and trees, encouraging healthy growth while limiting unwanted spread. There are beneficial pruning tasks you can do year-round – so a set of your best pruners should never leave your side for long.
Choosing the right time to prune maximizes the benefits, and allows the plant to continue growing beautifully. On the flipside, pruning at the wrong time is one of the worst pruning mistakes you can make, potentially causing problems such as stunted growth, poor health and limited production of flowers or fruit.
