Pruning Shrubs

To maintain the beauty of a plant
ing of shrubbery, proper pruning is
necessary.
Since slow growing evergreens
usually require little pruning; how
ever, fast growing broadleaf ever
greens and Towering shrubs should
be pruned to remove surplus or I'M
desirable growth at the proper time
of year. Pruning is a dwarflng pro
cess and should be done for the fol-
lowing reasons: % To remove dead,
diseased or injured branches. (2) To
remove old or surplus branches.
Most vigorous growing shrubs should
received some pruning each year so
that braches are removed when old
and unsigthly. 60 Maintain a def
mite size or form. (4) Influence
Towering and fruiting. 60 AS an aid
in transplanting by balancing the
top with roots.
Time and Extent of Pruning
/ Most shrub pruning is done in
the winter when plants are dormant.
| Such a practice is not harmful to the
plant, but if heavy Towering and
fruiting is expected annually the
time for pruning should be deter
mined by the age of the wood on
which flowers and fruit are pro-
duced. In general shrubs may be
placed in four groups according to
time and extent of pruning. The first
group includes those which grow
slowly and are pruned to remove
dead wood only. Common examples
are Towering almond, Towering
ounce, pearlbush, viburnums and
most broadleaf evergreens.
The second group includes plants
which grow rapidly and pro-
duce blooms on the previous years
