Shrub Maintenance
The principles of pruning is you prune shrubs at the right time of year, it will really improve their performance. In winter, deciduous plants shed leaves and send food reserves to their roots. If you prune in winter or spring they then have ample resources to regrow and balance their roots with their top growth. If you prune in summer then you are removing food reserves in the green leaves.
Why Prune
Many ornamental shrubs and trees can be allowed to grow without regular pruning. However, occasionally you may need to restrict the size, remove dead or unsightly growth, improve the shape or keep the plant in a healthy state to produce flowers and/or berries. Some shrubs, if left unpruned, continue growing from where the growth ended the previous season, becoming top heavy, flowering well above eye level.
