Pruning
If you haven’t pruned your garden plants, you need to get a move on.
Most plants benefit from an annual haircut after the spring flowering. Most natives really need it to stop them getting scruffy: grevilleas and bottlebrush love to be pruned.
Also prune diosmas, climbing roses, in fact anything that gets straggly or a bit wayward.
How much should you prune? Well this is not all that critical – just prune til the plant looks good to you. Obviously you need to remove any dead branches or any bits that are dangerous or that get in the way of passers-by.
Legally you can prune your neighbour’s shrubs and trees to the fence line if they are growing into your garden. But go easy, keep the neighbours as friends.
Happy pruning.
Hooroo!
