I prune the plants and give them the right shape,most often sphericalI do this at least three times a year. Thanks tosystematic cutsI was able to reshape even a 12-year-old juniper bushscaly , which after the last lost hispretty appearancetrimmed it halfway up, removed allbroken twigsandgave jałowcowi new shape
After cutting, fresh growth appears after approx.two months . You have toremove them on a regular basisso that the trees do not lose their shape. Regular cutting also causescrowns shrubsto be dense.
Systematic cutting of conifers makes my gardenalways looks aesthetically pleasing.
