There are several reasons a gardener may want to prune or cut back her evergreens. One may be to remove the dead or diseased branches. Another might be to have a neatly trimmed hedge. The gardener may even want to shape her evergreen into a topiary or rejuvenate a sad old shrub that has long been neglected.

When to Prune Evergreens

Evergreens are generally carefree and need little pruning or other attention, but if it must be done, the best time to do it is in spring, just before the growing season begins and after the threat of frost has passed. A light clipping will improve the health of the plant and offer more new shoots.
