When pruning herbs for harvest or for shape, it’s vital to follow the ‘rules’ of the plant…the way it naturally grows. This way you’ll stimulate new, delicious growth as well as shape the plant over the course of the season or seasons.
We’ll be pruning rosemary, green onions, and of course the classic basil in this video to demonstrate a few different approaches.

Clarification: For green onions, you can cut 1-2" above the soil, but I find the technique I described to work better for maximizing green top harvest, then you can pull and use the entire green onion once you've gotten what you want from the tops.
