Tracy DiSabato-Aust (Garden Designer and Author) gives expert video advice on: What is 'pruning'?; What variables are involved in pruning?; How much pruning does a plant need? and more...

What to prune, when to prune and how to prune will vary from region to region. It will vary with the age of the plant, annual weather conditions, the soil fertility or moisture level, and just simply the gardener's objectives. Some years you might want a little neater look to a garden, another year you might want a delayed flowering for a special event, or to time it with an open garden tour, so it will just vary with your garden objectives.
