Careful pruning techniques help insure the health of your shrubs. Here are some helpful tips:

• Never try to cut more wood than your saw or clippers are designed to cut. Use a small saw or loppers to remove medium sized or larger branches. Small stems and twigs should be clipped with hand pruners.
• Avoid use of shears unless you are maintaining a formal hedge.
• Never cut a branch flush with the main stem.
• Leave the stem collar intact to promote rapid healing of the stem cut.
• Never leave a stud which can provide an opening for wood decay.
