Proper
Shrub Pruning
Proper
shrub pruning is the selective removal of stems and branches
without changing the overall form of the shrub . Proper shrub
pruning develops and maintains a shrub's natural growth habit
within the confines of a landscape. Working with a shrubs's
natural form will lead to less maintenance and healthier landscapes.
In contrast, pruning practices such as shearing will lead to
more maintenance and stressed landscapes.
