Lets Talk Gardening Pruning Tips for Spring Shrubs
Gardening expert Ben F. Vance advises pruning after flowering to renovate shrubs like lilacs spirea and forsythia. Remove large canes by one quarter to one third each spring so three to four years yield a renewed plant. Also prune tall flowering shrubs to ground level and renew privet hedges. May is ideal for Mugha pines to control size with shearing and candle growth helps compare dense form. Avoid removing tulip tree foliage before dormancy ends.
