You are a great educator!! Thank you! So far no one was perceive and detailed as you were on pruning Rosemary plant for me. I am so thankful!

Oh crap I've pruned it too hard 😢 5 or 6cm of old twiggy wood stems left. Miss the bees visiting. Will have to replant a new plant.

What about French Lavender after they've flowered. Do you deadhead spent flowers straight away or leave until pruning next spring

What’s the name of the cutter you’re using?

Will the green stems left on the plant eventually turn woody? Will this make the plant larger and larger over time, by not being able to prune it small enough?

Yes, the green stems become woody later. You can cut lower than he showed providing there is active leaf growth below where you cut. If you cut to bare wood, you'll likely kill that stem. The lavender will produce new growth from the base, so it's helpful to go through and remove stems that are getting too long or floppy from time to time.
