PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Pruning at planting time differs depending on the variety of shrubs as well as the purpose for which they are planted. Shrubs 
planted as single specimens, or in shrub groups, should be pruned right after planting just enough to give them all an even 
height and shape, cutting off some of the long tips of canes that may be taller than the rest of the shrub. This is sufficient. 
However, such shrubs that are planted for hedges or screens should be cut back to a small height. This is in order to make 
them bush out low, and make them dense from the bottom up. All pruning of flowering shrubs in early spring will promo+e 
wood growth (continued on page 2,)
