Shrub Pruning
Pruning & Shrub Care
Pruning shrubs can improve plant vigor and increase flower size and abundance. Aside from having healthier and more beautiful looking shrubs, pruning provides opportunity for the removal of dead, damaged and diseased parts. Pruning also offers the chance to cut back large branches or entirely remove older stems that may have outgrown their allotted space, thus rejuvenating an otherwise overgrown plant.
Every variety of shrub has a distinct growth habit or pattern of branch development, being able to identify this structure and understand its response to different pruning techniques is essential for assisting in healthy plant development and preservation. North Eastern Tree Care is the home of board-certified master arborists, accredited organic land care professionals and master gardeners who are well versed in the proper pruning techniques to bring your landscape to the next level.
Perennial woody shrubs are often the showiest plants in the landscape providing variety in leaf color, size, and texture. Their flowers are often the first sign of spring. They bloom all through summer and offer the last glimpse of fall. Improper pruning can have a lasting effect on a shrub’s health and beauty. Protect your investment by hiring the experts at North Eastern Tree Care, who understand each plant’s needs and respond to different pruning techniques is a priority.
When to Prune Your Shrubs
There are several windows of opportunity within each shrub’s annual growth cycle that allow for different types of pruning. The professionals at North Eastern Tree Care can show you how the winter months are the best time for structural pruning, heavily reducing a shrub’s size, removing large older parts or re-establishing a neglected older plant.
Other Benefits to Dormant Season Shrub Pruning
- Avoid Insect Damage: Pruning cuts made in the dormant season are much less likely to attract invasive plant-damaging insects.
- Prevent the Spread of Disease: Removal of dead and diseased branches and canopy thinning during the dormant season helps to prevent the spread of most diseases and the increased circulation and sunlight penetration will benefit your shrubs next spring.
