Pruning Evergreen Shrubs

Abstract

Evergreen shrubs used to landscape the home grounds should be permitted to grow and develop into their natural shapes. Natural growing shrubs lend a pleasing look to the home grounds. This does not mean that we cannot prune to keep them within limited bounds, but we should definitely not prune to formal shapes such as globes, squares or pyramids. If they are pruned in this manner, they must be constantly sheared to maintain these shapes.
