Pruning trees and shrubs in urban areas

On 7th of May will be held a webinar about the "Pruning trees and shrubs in urban areas". The lecturer is land. arch. Nevena Pachedzhieva. She explains: "The brutal pruning of trees and shrubs across the country is the reason that made me take the topic more seriously. The purpose of pruning is to regulate the shape, size and flowering of the trees and shrubs, to maintain a strong, healthy and beautiful plant. Removing more than 20% of living tree branches is very dangerous, cuts above 5 cm also. Pruning in most tree species should be done during the rest period – this is also a very common mistake made by the gardeners in urban areas.
