Gardeners issued pruning warning and urged to follow one important rule BBC presenter and gardening expert Monty Don has highlighted the importance of pruning plants correctly as winter comes to an end and spring finally begins to arrive.
Monty also highlighted that one of the key reasons for pruning is to “encourage vigorous new growth that will, in turn, produce lots of flowers.” This ensures that as spring approaches, gardens will be filled with healthy, vibrant blooms.
But, Monty Don emphasises one key rule when it comes to pruning: always cut back to something, such as a side shoot or leaf bud.
I know that pruning can be the cause of some anxiety but there is only one rule to follow which is always cut back to something, be it a side shoot or leaf bud.
One of the best ways to ensure healthy plant growth and maintain a clean garden is through pruning.
