​At some point all decorative trees and shrubs have to be trimmed to maintain a desired appearance and overall health. Not all shrubs are the same and and trimming them is no different. Trimming a shrub the incorrect way can lead to major problems and even death of the plant which in certain cases can be a very costly mistake. We know our plant species and take the time to analyze each plant before trimming. Trees are no different. Each tree likes to be trimmed a certain way and it is very important to pay attention to these details before attempting to trim.
