In March/April, pruning shears are used on summer-blooming ornamental shrubs. You may be wondering why? A gentle pruning encourages the shrubs to produce many new shoots, which will later bloom. So, those who are diligent in their pruning training will be rewarded with abundant blooms and a strong, compact growth.

Pruning is one of the most important tasks in the garden year after year: A good cut promotes the flowering of shrubs, the vitality of the plants and brings overgrown hedges and shrubs back into shape.
