Ideally, hedges should be pruned in late winter, when plants are dormant and haven't produced budsâparticularly if you're cutting back drastically. You don't want them to break bud before you prune because you want the plant's energy to go toward producing new growth where you want it, says Roger.
Each plant and tree species has its own pruning requirements, timing, and technique.
