HI DOUG..I WAS WONDERING IF THIS PRUNNING METHOD IS GOOD FOR A BRADFORD PEAR…WE HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD TREE. THANKS SANDY WE LIVE IN FENTON, MI.
These are the two basic cuts for all pruning of all plants.
Trees respond slightly differently but that’s because their buds mature at different rates.
But – yes, these are the two cuts you’ll make.

I need help to know how to get my Rosemary “wreath” topiary looking good. It has a lot of brown dry areas, but a few places of new green growth. What method should I use to remove the brown areas. Just let the brown needles fall off naturally? Force the brown needles off? Cut them off?
@Chicklet -
If you want to thicken up the green, you have to cut off the brown and leave stubs for new green to grow (heading cuts).
