Yeah, I think there are two schools of thought on that. And I think any gardener does what works best for them. Anyhow, I have had great success planting in raised pots on a wagon, no regular pruning, so continue to grow them that way.

Why not try an experiment next year? Prune one plant, but not another of the same species? And get your own results.
