Should you prune native California plants?

What Would Deer Do?
The California Bay Laurel is
well suited to sheering,
if you believe what the deer do.


Good Question and many people say that you are likely to kill the native plant if you don't do it the right time of year. Many of our plants evolved with fire and root-sprout. 

Many have evolved with a four-footed garden maintenance crew. Other plants live in creek beds that alternate between drought and torrential water. 

You've got to be observant and refer to those experts who have had experience.
