Howdy all. I am tempted to give my privet hedge one last pruning before
fall sets in (zone 5). However, I am concerned about new growth being
exposed to the coming cold.

Should I just wait until late winter/early spring to prune it or do you
think it'd be okay to prune now. It would be a light pruning. Nothing
harsh. Just a gentle shearing.

Any input appreciated.
