Trimming

• When you see parts of the bush that have died, you need to trim the dead branches off the bush as soon as possible. The dead branches will take nutrients the bush needs to use to keep the other branches alive, possibly leading to more branches dying. Inspecting your evergreen bushes regularly allows you to catch problems early. If you find disease or other types of damage on branches, you need to trim off the affected branches to stop the conditions from affecting the rest of the bush.
