With friendly, expert advice from Cass Turnbull, founder of Seattle's PlantAmnesty, the mission is to end the harmful practices of mal-pruning. To prevent mal-pruning and other gardening mistakes, follow these ten commandments: 1. Do not shear your bush. 2. Do not top your tree. 3. Do not plant sun-loving plants in the shade or shade-loving plants in the sun. 4. Always mulch. 5. Do not leave stubs. 6. Avoid flush cuts and do not paint wounds. 7. Do not cover the base of your plants with mulch, soil, or landscape material. 8. Cut circling or girdling roots. 9. Do not compact the root zone or trench near the trunk. 10. Do not weed-whip, bash the trunk with mowers, or leave anything tied to the tree or its branches.
