Key points
- Certain weather conditions can make shrubs vulnerable to stress during circumcision.
- Avoid difficult circumcision during very dry or hot weather, and aim a colder time in early spring or late autumn.
- Before croping shrubs in hot, dry summer time, make sure you prepare them beforehand to help them recover.
The bushing arms helps them stay healthy and alive. Smallness is often necessary to help manage the size and shape of the bushes. Also, circumcision encourages the growth of new leaves or flowers and contributes to the overall, neatly maintained look in the landscape.
Different shrubs have different trimming needs. Some shrubs (such as Boxwood) need rare circumcision, except for removing dead or damaged branches. Most floral shrubs benefit from dead flowers and slight formatting. Roses and hydrandars have specific trimming requirements, depending on the variety, and time is often a key factor.
Time conditions also affect the bush cropping time. Long extension of hot or dry weather in the summer can cause stress to plants, including shrubs. We talked to some garden experts on crumbling in dry weather and received some useful tips for cropping.

Should you spit the bushes when dry?
In general, garden experts recommend avoiding severe circumcision in very hot summer time. But dry trimming of time can have their advantages. Mary Jane Duford, professional gardeners at home, says the cropping on dry days means that there is less risk of fungal disease, because fresh cuts will not remain moist and prone fungus.
Rhonda Kaiser, a gardening expert who lives in Texas (where summer are becoming very hot), says the time and access to circumcision should be adapted to the types of shrubs you work with, but this difficult cropping in summer can be risky. He says that the tender new growth can be exposed and tending to the sun, due to the lighter sunbeam and warmer temperatures in summer. It also points out that pruning encourages growth, and the new leaves that appear in hot weather can quickly curb or burn.
Kaiser suggests only performing light tasks in circumcision when weather is dry: this includes sprinkling broken stems or light reshapes. But because time does not always cooperate with the gardening plan, there are some tips for following in reducing stress or damage to the bushes.

How to spit bushes
In addition to using the right job tools, and securing tools are clean and sharp, there are some specific advice relating to the time of trimming their bushes to be aware.
- Follow the appropriate seasonal time: To hold the bushes healthy, wipe them in the correct season. Some shrubs of spring, such as quilt, should be renewed soon after their flowers faded, and before the buds for next year began to form. Many shrubs perform best if they are cropped in early spring or fall, while some solid breeders, such as Forsythia, can be shaped at any time. Kaiser’s thumb life is to save heavy pruning for late winter or early spring, while the plants are still dormant, just before the new growth begins.
- Arms in the morning or early evening: In addition to seasonal weather, the time of day should be considered. Just as watering needs to be done in the morning or in duskmius to maximize moisture, in this time, circumcision should be done when temperatures tend to be lower, says Kaiser, to reduce stress on your plants.
- Water before and after circumcision: I Duford and Kaiser recommend bushes of watering before and after circumcision. Kaisers says this will support their recovery from stress trimming. Duford recommends deep absorbence around the root zone the day before circumcision, prepare a plant and compensate the stress of circumcision. After circumcision, Duford says the soil will wet evenly (but not moist) to help the bush recover slowly. It also suggests that they put a layer of organic mulch into the base to help save water and protect roots.
Tips for bushes trimming in summer
Sometimes summer brings a wonderful time, but there may be extremes that can take their toll on the plants of your garden. Duford says that the soil and hot sun can emphasize the plants, so it is important that you minimize additional worrying to not trim too much.
He says that a good guideline cannot abolish more than one third of the plant volume periodically, to reduce stress. It is also a good idea to wait until a good part of the rainy days before circumcision, if at all possible.
In addition, Duford suggests that they are working mainly in light trimming, including shaping or thinning or overlapping the branches to improve airflow), not to cut in size. It also recommends removing breast and water sliding at this time: a new growth that can connect a lot of energy from shrubs.
