I read somewhere about a year ago a specific term used in regard to pruning
perennials. I can't for the life of me remember it, which is unusual because
it was a verb. Usually, it's the darn nouns that vanish.

If anyone can help, I'd much appreciate it,

Thank you

The only thing I can offer is stooling as with dogwoods and coppicing as
with sweet chestnut.

Probably not the word you're looking for (and it applies to some shrubs
as well), but there's "dead-heading".

Thanks for the responses, but none are the word I'm trying to recall. It
meant much the same as dead heading. I believe I read it in a gardening
article on a newspaper website.

No doubt, as with all words, it was made up by the author, here's a few
more; "chipperting" "clipoonering" "cutterooney" "prunes" which can also be
eaten, avoid when mountaineering
