Pruning may seem daunting but following basic principles ensures success.
Most deciduous shrubs are pruned immediately after flowering, while winter pruning suits fruit trees and roses.
Always use sharp, clean tools and make cuts just above an outward-facing bud at a slight angle.
Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches first, then shape the plant.
Different plants have different requirements: prune spring-flowering shrubs like forsythia after blooming, but summer-flowering ones like buddleia in late winter.
Never prune more than one-third of a plant in one season unless renovation is necessary.
