Of all the projects that need attention in the garden, pruning is the most important for the long run and also the easiest to get wrong.  We can do terrible damage if we prune incorrectly.  If we use power tools, we can do terrible damage very quickly.  At Fern Ridge, pruning small trees and shrubs is one of our specialties.  When we’re finished, the plants will look better and be healthier – able to withstand storms, disease and insects and ready to grow in the right direction in the coming years.  Proper pruning may not look dramatic – especially if it’s done right – but it protects your investment and restores and enhances beauty.
