GARDEN MAINTENANCE

---

Have you ever looked around your garden and noticed dead limbs in your trees and shrubs, overgrown, wild looking plants, shrubs that have outgrown their space, or simply grown awkward and ugly? I am sure you have, as this is a normal part of gardening. Many plants need a quick tidy up and some, you may think, need to be removed and replaced, but before you tear that plant out of your gardens consider a hard pruning or “rejuvenation” prune. 

Why prune?

• To remove dead or damaged branches.
• To maintain the plant’s size.
• To maintain the health of the plant, remove all dead, diseased, broken, rubbing and weak branches so insects and disease don’t enter the plant.
• To shape or train the plant.
• Hard prune and thin to rejuvenate an old shrub that is declining. New vigorous growth and flower production will result.
• Thin out dense branches and foliage that prevent light from feeding the interior of a plant.
• Thin to expose interesting growth patterns in the trunk and branches, or to expose interesting bark.
• Thin to reduce storm damage to dense shrubs or trees (if strong winds can blow through the shrub or tree, rather than blow against dense foliage, then it’s less likely you will lose branches, or the entire tree).
• Prune to encourage denser form.
• Shear or prune to form special shapes or topiary.
• Cut back to encourage bushy growth.

Time to trim?

Every plant type has its own “prime time” for blooming.
