Best Time to Prune Evergreens and Shrubs in June
Horticulture expert Dr. Charles Dunham of the University of Delaware advises pruning evergreens in June after new growth. Pines stay compact with yearly pruning, while yews junipers and cedars should be cut mid to late June. Prune shrubs like forsythia after a few years and lilacs by trimming old canes at the base to preserve bloom.
