Better plant health:

Did you know that dead and dying branches harbor pests and plant diseases that could slow down the growth of the hedge and spread throughout the garden?

If you’re leaving your bushes untrimmed, the overgrowth could cover slow-growing plants. With ample sunlight, low or slow-growing plants could die. Manage the growth of your plants with regular pruning, so they don’t have to compete for sunlight with taller bushes.

Regular pruning eliminates diseased or pest-ridden branches that could otherwise harm the health of your precious plants! A pair of garden shears is a must if you want to improve the health of your plants and hedges.

Pruning should be done for the first couple of years after planting the hedges. Called formative pruning, it’s often done early in the spring or late in the winter season. These periods are usually when new growth starts developing.

Pruning season is March to July, ending by August when tender new growths develop after pruning. Routine pruning can be done once a year for shrubs and bushes, while hedges should be trimmed at least twice a year to maintain their shape.

You don’t want to prune too closely to the bud if you want to encourage new growth. Don’t cut the branches flush against the trunk. Avoid cutting more than one-fourth of the plant’s height in a season. Don’t be afraid to prune bushes and hedges thinking that it’s hurting the plants, it won’t. Pruning is something that the plants need to remove deadwood.

Most flowering shrubs look better pruned before flowering except for lilacs, which look better when left to produce flowers first before pruning. Prune flowering trees, shrubs, and hedges like beautyberry, crape myrtle, gardenia, mimosa, and nandina, before the spring growth begins. Spring season shrubs and plants like azaleas, clematis, Bradford pear, and dogwoods are best pruned after producing flowers because the buds are produced the previous year and are not spring growth.

Although pruning hedges are only carried out a few times every year, the wrong tool can discourage gardeners from keeping their shrubs, bushes, and hedges neat all year long.
