Pruning should be viewed as a regular part of maintenance rather than as a remedial correction of neglected problems.
Pruning to maintain plant health includes the elimination of dead, dying, or diseased wood. A dying branch or stub can be an entry point for insects or diseases that could spread to other parts of the plant.Shrub, Hedge, and Ground cover. Trimming/Pruning is usually performed twice per year (though some may be trimmed once or not at all). Benefits include aesthetics, health, and plant size management.
