Aesthetic Pruning in Early Spring with Chris Ingram

Aesthetic pruning requires considerably more thought and planning than simply shearing off new growth. Pruning trees and shrubs can dramatically enhance the beauty and value of your landscape, while improving the overall health of your plants. Chris will share with us aesthetic pruning principles and practices ideal for early spring, but that can be used throughout the year.
