1.Prune to maintain plant health
- Remove dead, damaged or diseased plant tissue to maintain plant health and vigor.
2.Prune to create special effects
- Plants can be pruned to a particular size or shape, or to create special aesthetic and architectural forms including hedge and espalier forms (2D).
3. Prune to increase flowering and fruiting
- More flower buds will be formed for the following season if old flowers are removed when they lose their attractiveness, a practice called dead-heading.
4.Prune to rejuvenate old and overgrown shrubs
- Excessive growth often restricts air circulation through older plant, thus increasing pest problems and reducing light penetration.
- Selectively prune to reduce wind resistance, increase air circulation, reduce pest problems and increase light penetration.
