After the first theoretical articles, we go into detail with practical examples on common plants such as Forsythia, lavender, roses and hydrangeas. We also explain the return cut for trees, always recommending the intervention of a professional. Finally, we delve into the correct management of hedges for health and harmony.<\/h5>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Testo (100%)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The practice of pruning plants: The previous chapters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We started this pruning journey with the article &#8220;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mondodelgiardino.com\/en\/theory-of-pruning-plants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Theory of pruning plants<\/a><\/span>&#8220;. We learned important things about how to organize work. We then continued the journey with the article &#8220;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mondodelgiardino.com\/en\/exceptions-in-pruning-plants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exceptions in pruning plants<\/a><\/span>&#8221; where we clarified the question of when to prune in relation to the type of branch on which the flowers form even if this is not the only question important. In fact, we had to insert the type of pruning almost plant by plant. Now we know that it is not easy to deal with pruning and we lack some practical indications.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The general theory<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Basically, as a general theory applied to practice, we can say that we need to distinguish between the pruning done for the purpose of flowering and that linked to the management of the plant. In fact, pruning linked to flowering is often done at the end of flowering or before the spring regrowth while the old, weak or disharmonious branches (those to understand us that intersect the interior passing from one side to another or go in the exact same direction of a other branch) must be eliminated in any case when the plant is at rest.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pruning plants in the garden: Shrubs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In this article we will mainly talk about pruning shrubs. The reason is because the gardens that we will personally take care of are mainly medium-small. It&#8217;s unlikely that for a large garden there isn&#8217;t a gardener who takes care of everything. Furthermore, pruning a tree is a matter that must necessarily be entrusted to a professional. However, we will talk about the &#8220;Backcut&#8221; that is performed on trees so that you know what it is and how it is performed so that you can check the work of the professional in charge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Where does it cut on the branch?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start from the basic information with the specification of where to cut on the branch: not too close or too far from the bud and with an opposite inclination to the latter.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

Non-remontant sarmentose roses are pruned by cutting the oldest branches in the summer at the end of flowering. For the pruning of the bush rose, short pruning is necessary if necessary to rejuvenate it, medium pruning in case of too thick branches, long pruning annually. The branches that occupy the central part of the bush and those that arise from buds located on the rootstock must be cut. For the pruning of sapling roses, the branches that occupy the central part, those that are too old and the wild ones must be cut. For the pruning of the remontant sarmentosa rose, the portions of the lateral shoots of the sarmento which have borne the flowers must be cut at the base.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hydrangea pruning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Immagine (100%)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||20px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Riga&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/mondodelgiardino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Potare-lortensia.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Potare l&#8217;ortensia&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Testo (100%)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the image: (1) Eliminate the withered flowers under the first pair of buds or leaves available; (2) if without leaves and flowers, remove the damaged terminals; (3) prune sterile and non-productive branches from the base.
