Should I prune my Waterhouse?

Mid-winter is ideal for pruning before the new Spring foliage comes in. This will encourage new growth and assist in shaping your screening hedge. After pruning, provide adequate water and nutrients to support the plant’s recovery. A gentle and effective product such as Seasol will be ideal.
