Shrubs create the structure in a garden so it’s important to keep them in good condition with regular pruning. This will improve a plant’s shape and encourage flowers and fruits.
Many people chose to grow shrubs up a house, in the photo below, the shrub was beginning to take over the back of the house, risking loosening of roof tiles. With correct pruning the shrub stopped dominating the house and clients benefitted from increased light in their home.

Knowing how and where to cut is essential. When pruning young shrubs it is important to cut out excessively long shoots and weak or damaged growth. Old shrubs such as forsythia and buddleja can soon accumulate masses of old, dead wood in the centre if they are not pruned regularly. The best way to rejuvenate these plants is to cut them back during the dormant season.
Shrubs grown for their colourful stems or foliage, such as dogwood, need to be cut down every spring to 4-5 buds to encourage new growth. This is known as coppicing. After a summer’s vigorous growth, it is a good idea to give your shrubs a light prune in the autumn to keep them in shape.
