Am I the only one who really loves to prune? Fall & spring are the busiest times for pruning.  Now that we’re well into September, I wanted to share this with you. Sometimes we need reminding: make sure to clean and sharpen your pruning tool!.

Now, the most important thing to know is how the plant(s) grows & how it’ll respond so you can prune it successfully. Here are some things to research: when’s the best time is to prune it, does it flower on new or old wood, how much do you need to prune it (does it need to be tip-pruned, thinned out, cut all the way back, cut halfway back, etc) & how it’s going to grow back as a result of the pruning.

If your tools aren’t sharp, you’ll make jagged cuts and the pruning will be hard on the plant and difficult for you. Clean cuts are important for the health and aesthetics of the plant.

My pruning tools that I use on a regular basis: Felco #2 hand pruners, Fiskar Snippers & loppers (the ones I use aren't made anymore).

Happy pruning!
