This is a primary class of the Master Pruner course series. It covers basic pruning of ornamental trees and shrubs as well as creative solutions to the overgrown or over-planted garden. The types of pruning cuts are shown and discussed, and the concept of the 'pruning budget' is discussed for different plant and different growth types. Before and after photos and diagrams of real-life pruning examples will be used to illustrate pruning for size reduction and pruning for definition (thinning). Students will gain insight into the process of yard renovation, where pruning is but one tool in renovating a garden.
