Late winter/early spring pruning is an annual maintenance that should be done on woody trees and shrubs to keep them looking their best, and healthy.
Always be sure to keep these guidelines in mind before going into the yard to prune:
-What it is/ When it flowers: (Remember the early blooming plants have flower buds on them in the spring. You can prune these plants after flowering to maximize bloom display.)
-Growth Habit: mature height, mature width, form, growth rate, longevity
-Aesthetics: foliage, growth habit, flowers, fruit, fall color, bark, branches
-Function: street tree, accent, specimen, hedge, barrier, border, edging, foundation, mass, screen, windbreak, groundcover, vine
