Pruning

C Gardens can prune, trim and train your shrubs and small trees. Pruning is a regular part of plant maintenance. It is beneficial to the overall health and longevity of your shrubs and small trees. Pruning will improve plant appearance, increase vigor, and protect people and property by repairing and/or preventing shrub and tree damage.

Pruning is a combination of science and art. The science includes pruning technique, horticultural knowledge and proper tools. There are five basic pruning techniques. Any combination of these five techniques can be required for a specific plant. It is critical to know the growth habit of the plant and understand its life cycle to determine which techniques will work best for a plant. This is the science of pruning. The art of pruning involves the ability to visualize the future shape of a plant based on pruning cuts that you are making today. Artistic ability is what differentiates an adequate pruning job from a fabulous one.
