Autumn is a busy season in the pruning calendar, the perfect time to remove old growth from plants that’ve been highly-productive in summer. As winter approaches many plants enter a period of dormancy - an ideal time to cut back without shocking plants.
Discover how to take the headache out of pruning to get the best results from the plants in your garden in the final third part of our online Masterclass series, plus live Q&A with Associate Editor, David Hurrion.
