Hmmmmmmmmmm. Prune them every year perhaps?
Prune them in the winter?
Your thoughts?
maybe you stumbled upon some deficiency which you
happened to correct by what you added. impossible
to know for sure without tests before and after and
more precise record keeping (don't worry i don't
really do that either since i rarely amend the
gardens here with anything other than worm compost
and various other organic materials).
keep observing and thinking and if you can start
keeping a notebook about what you plant and what
you do to it. sometimes years later you go back
and look at those notes and can tell where you may
have messed up or helped. :)
note that since your pots do not get appreciably
larger each season that pruning some of the shrubby
plants will probably be a good idea, but you do
want to know for each species what the reasonable
time and technique. especially for fruit bushes
since a bad prune job may ruin your next season's
fruit production.
