In this pruning guide @AllotmentAlice gives us the low down on how to prune and the common mistakes to avoid. Alice also takes us through the three D’s of pruning – Dead, Dying or Diseased which helps you identify which parts of the tree or shrub to prune.  In addition, you’ll find out why it’s really important to use the best tools for the job.
