Pruning tips, Issue 01

Why most people are afraid to prune their plants?

I understand that for those who haven’t done it before, making your first cut could be scary. Don’t worry. It happens to everyone in almost every area of life. Doing something new, especially when you can’t go back on it is scary (no, you can’t reattach a branch to a tree after you’ve cut it). But, the great thing with "cutting" plants is that although you can’t reattach – you know it will regrow, and that’s where the reward is. Watching your garden grow, and bloom, knowing that you helped a plant direct its energy so it could produce more leaves, new blossoms, sweet fruit - and knowing that you helped it along is a wonderfully rewarding feeling.
