Q&A – Can my large arborvitaes be pruned to reduce their size?
Question:
Can my large arborvitaes be pruned to reduce their size?
Answer:
Yes they can, but slowly. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says you can take off a few inches a year. She says it is important to make sure you don’t cut it back so far that there are no green leaves, or that branch will probably die.
