"Don't be afraid to prune, after ail, you learn by your mistakes, and if you follow this basic guide, you won't make many of those," Mr. Bradshaw points out. "Start with a good set of pruuing shears. Keep them dlean, sharp and in aligrument. Wipe them dlean after use, and put a spot of oul on them occasionally. Blunt shears eau produce tomn, ragged, bruising cuts which lead to diseased plants. "Always make your eut about 1/4 inch above a bud and the bud should be facing out from the centre of the growth. This keeps the plant shape open. "'AIl eut stems over one inch in diameter shouîd be proteeted with tree-wound paint. "An unpruned hedge boits skyward, and soon becomes full of holes.
