PRUNING & WEEDING
|
|
Pruning is another important cultural practice that when done properly and at the correct time of the year, can improve the health of a landscape. Shoots & branches should be removed selectively to control growth, improve flowering or appearance of the plant and occasionally improve the health of the plant by encouraging growth at the right time of the year. Proper plant selection can help eliminate excessive pruning to maintain a safe or neat landscape.
