Bush pruning promotes healthy growth and dense foliage. A common shrub pruning mistake is to focus only on the outer surface of the shrub. Deprive the internal structure of enough light for photosynthesis, which can lead to “hollow bush” syndrome and a much shorter lifespan.

Professional shrub pruning requires the ability of a certified arborist to accommodate the physiological needs of the plant with the desired aesthetic appearance. Ensure the long-term growth and health of your bushes with Ortega Tree experts.

When is the best time to prune?

Anytime between late fall and early spring is best for trimming or pruning. And even better, dormant pruning in late fall or winter saves time and money by helping with disease management. Knowing when to trim your shrubs keeps them healthy in the long-term while setting them up for a season of robust growth.

Keep your shrubs in the best possible condition.
