Class Description
Winter is an excellent time to prune many trees and shrubs. Extension Master Gardeners Molly Newling and Angela McNamara explain why and how to prune to remove crossing and rubbing branches, suckers, water sprouts, and damaged wood. They discuss the best practices for reducing shrub size, trimming hedges, and carefully removing larger limbs. The results will be trees and shrubs with healthier and fuller growth, better flowers and fruit, and a more attractive home landscape.
