This is especially important for plants with thick branches. Flat cuts that sit straight upwards can collect water, stopping the cut from healing and causing the branch to rot.

As the UK is set to enter spring, plants are beginning to kickstart growth, with new leaves and stems forming at rapid rates. These leaves give the plant more energy through photosynthesis, allowing them to grow even bigger.
If gardeners cut off too many of these new leaves and stems, they will interrupt this cycle of growth, “resulting in shock”, warned Madison.
She explained: “Heavy pruning at the wrong time can irreparably damage the growth of the plant. Plants with stunted growth or an interruption in their natural growth may take years to recover, if they even recover at all.”
