5 Things you can prune now . . .
1. Evergreens - It's time to tidy them up. Learn more.
2. Summer blooming, flowering shrubs such as butterfly bushes, potentilla and hibiscus, prune now. Spring blooming shrubs, such as lilacs and forsythia should be pruned after they bloom. Learn more.
3. Shrub roses, such as Easy Elegance and Knock-out roses, prune now. Don't prune hybrid tea or grandiflora until you see the forsythia blooming in your area, usually mid to late April.
4. Sun loving hydrangeas, such as Limelight. Remove the dead flower heads, cutting back to the first strong, healthy pair of buds, lower down the stem. Wait to prune the shade loving hydrangea until May in our area.
5. Fruit trees - proper pruning should be done every year. It will:
· Keep the tree under control, so fruit is easy to reach
· Encourage less, but larger fruit
· Fruit will grow closer to the trunk, so limbs will not become weighted down and break.
· More fruit tree pruning tips.
Spring Pruning will really tidy up your yard.
Pruning promotes flower production and helps maintain a healthy and shapely plant. Use clean sharp pruners, cut at a 45 degree angle just above a bud, leaf node or side branch.
What you can prune any time.
Dead, diseased, crossing branches and out of control branches can be pruned any time of the year.
