Shearing evergreen shrubs
Evergreen shrub shearing is a practice that can be used to maintain a geometric and formal shape of the plant. It is important to note, however, that once a shape has been formed yearly maintenance is required to preserve the design.
Appropriate times are highlighted to show a general rule that is appropriate for most species (e.g. pine, spruce, fir, yew, arborvitae). The accompanying link highlights specific timings for the different evergreen species based on the different growth characteristics.
