Plant Training 101: To Prune or not to Prune?
by
Wet & Forget
Easy
Some of the plants in your garden grow best with a little help from your pruning shears, while others, such as some varieties of tomatoes, do much better if you leave the pruners in the garage. Some plants are more vulnerable than others, as well. For example, most roses will shrug off a poor pruning just as well as you would a bad haircut--a short period of embarrassment followed by complete recovery. But prune your oak tree during the wrong month, and you may end up with a dead tree.
