Many tree owners ask questions about pruning – when, how, where? The task of pruning makes many hearts tremble with fear and anxiety, as many amateur gardeners do not know where to begin.

Pruning, when done well, can be very satisfying. The results are simply breathtaking: an abundance of fruit, flowers, and foliage. However, equally dramatically, incorrect pruning results in plants that are damaged, and simply do not thrive.

Although successful pruning seems difficult and complicated, gardeners must learn how to regularly prune their plants. If you do not have time to do it yourself, hire gardeners to do it for you.

Pruning begins with knowing what it is and why it is necessary. With pruning, gardeners can monitor plant growth closely, and determine its pattern. Terminal buds must be cut for maximal growth and health of plants.

With pruning, knowing that each plant is unique and that there are correct pruning methods for every plant. Each plant is distinct and different. Know your plant.

Learn what your plant needs. This is the only way your plant will thrive. Learn about soil that is good quality, the correct amount of light, essential nutrients, and how to prune well.
