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.
The so-called boxwood-scissors or shears that are for sale are only suitable for trimming shapes. It is better to get a decent pair of pruning shears for hedges.
