A: When you are emotional, angry or frustrated. When you are drinking or drunk. When you are tired. When you are distracted with children or grandchildren. When you are bored or disinterested. When you do not know about the plant you are pruning. When your tool is not sharp or you have the wrong tool for the job. When it is the wrong time of year to prune your plant. When you have a fear of pruning.
