A few details, answered
Questions about bush & shrub trimming.
When should I trim bushes?
Timing depends on the plant. Spring-flowering shrubs are usually pruned just after their blooms fade. Many shrubs that flower on new growth can be pruned in late winter or early spring. Identify the shrub first so trimming does not remove the coming season’s flowers.
How much can you cut back shrubs?
The safe amount depends on the species, age and condition. For many established deciduous shrubs, gradual renewal removes up to about one-third of the oldest stems in a season. Some evergreens do not recover from cuts into bare old wood, so avoid a drastic cut without identifying the plant.
How often should you trim hedges?
Most formal hedges need trimming at least twice a year, while vigorous varieties may need three or four trims. The plant’s growth rate and the shape you want determine the schedule. Flowering hedges also need timing that preserves their blooms.
How should hedges be shaped?
Keep the base slightly wider than the top so sunlight can reach the lower branches. A hedge that is wider at the top can become thin near the ground. Build the shape gradually, with cuts suited to the plant rather than forcing an oversized hedge into shape all at once.
