I've recently moved into a house with a hedge which we are fairly
certain is a potentilla fruticosa

I've searched the net and the library, and am thoroughly confused.
Various sources say it should pruned in spring and trimmed in winter,
or vice versa, or only pruned or trimmed in winter or spring and I'm
completely lost.

What is the difference (if any) between trimming and pruning ?

What should I be doing to it and when, because it's a pleasant hedge
and I don't want to kill it or let it get all straggly

thanks in advance

Mike
