There aie several things to be kept in mind and the rules are very simple. x lisi yon rnuM. con'SHiev rl you want a stiff formal hedge with its sharp lines or a 1 ^ose-growiiig shrub-! heiy-like hedge that is more natural. Your method of pruning will govern this though The particular shrub that comprises the hedge will have r. great deal to say about it. A hedge of Spiraea von Hc-utter. oi Bridal Wreath should not be tr immed to a formal line, that is not Its natuvc, but if your hedge is of prsvlt or Bar it will lend itself very nicely t?. the formal type of pruning,. Then, too. you must consider if it ; :: flowering shrub and when it oems. Flowering shrubs should always bh pruned after their blooming period is over, in this way you do noi lose the bloom. Most of the ; spring flowering shrubs bloom upon The wood grown ;*i the previous seas, n and if you prune them in the spring or even late in the fail you \ose j? large part of the blooming wood and your display is spoiled. All of the fall blooming species may be severely pruned in the spring and they will b loom all the better for it thai fall. If you are setting our a young hedge it will require careful pruning t)ie first few years as this is. the training time and you may start it right or wrong as you cut. it with i your pruning shears.
