Knowing how far to cut comes from experience
These before-and-after photos show a significant reduction—but successful pruning involves much more than simply cutting a tree or shrub back.
You need to understand:
✂️ How far the plant can safely be reduced
🌳 Which branches should be retained or removed
📅 The correct time of year to prune
🪚 Where each cut should be made
🌱 How to encourage healthy, balanced regrowth
🏡 How to manage the plant’s future size and shape
Cutting too little may not solve the problem. Cutting too far, using the wrong technique or pruning at the wrong time can weaken a plant and affect its recovery.
Experience matters—especially when there is no easy way to put a branch back on.
