Prune trees with cere
NEWARK, Del Many trees
and shrubs need annual pruning to
keep them vigorous and attractive
But don’t ruin m a few minutes
what nature took years to ac
complish. It’s easy to get earned
away with the shears.
Few people prune in the natural
way that’s best for the health and
appearance of a plant, says
University of Delaware extension
garden specialist Dave Tatnall
Probably this is because they don’t
know how or are in a hurry Un
fortunately, plants may never
recover from the work of a well
meaning but overly enthusiastic
primer.
The most common mistake in
pruning shrubs, for example, is to
shear everything into tight, rigid
shapes That practice forces the
plant into' an unnatural growth
habit
Only one group of plants should
be sheared-formal hedges-and
these seem to be losing favor in
modern landscapes
Tatnall has several suggestions
which should help you prune the
trees and shrubs in your yard more
successfully
For one thing, prune out dead
and diseased branches broken,
damaged and weak wood, and
suckers. On trees, also remove
branches that are rubbing against
other branches This contact may
cause injury that results in disease
or insect attack Remember to

make clean cuts close to a branch
or trunk
Spring-flowering shrubs like
forsythia, spirea, mock orange,
and weigela are best pruned im
mediately after flowering. Most
summer-flowering shrubs, like
rose-of-sharon, butterfly bush and
crape myrtle, should be pruned in
late winter or early spring before
they start new growth. Prune
small flowering trees and shade
trees while they’re dormant during
winter and early spring Maples,
dogwood, and birch may “bleed” if
pruned at this time, but this
doesn’t hurt them If for aesthetic
reasons you wish to avoid bleeding
on such trees, prune them either in
early December or in early April.
The best time to prune most
narrowleaf evergreens is in early
to mid April Regular light pruning
each year helps keep them at a
desirable size and is better than
having to undertake a major
pruning job on overgrown,
neglected plants
Tatnall says you should avoid
pruning trees or shrubs in the early
fall. Doing it then may produce
late, immature growth that won’t
survive the wmter But you can
remove dead, diseased or broken
limbs at any tune of year
You can avoid a lot of un
necessary pruning by proper
landscaping—proper plant
selection and proper spacing
