Lia Romana of TerraFae Flowers explains why sustainable design starts with the client's available time, how master pruning differs from trimming, and the two pruning mistakes she sees most often.

Match hand pruners, loppers, and saws to branch diameter so you make clean cuts that heal fast instead of crushing or tearing stems.
