How and When to Prune Shrubs = | 
As a general rule it is advisable to prune spring-flowering and early-summer- flowering shrubs immediately after they complete the period of flowering. This is 
because the blooms occur on old wood or the previous year’s growth, and pruning immediately after bloom encourages growth for next year’s bloom. Thinning 
should be confined to removal of dead wood and judicious removal of new wood as necesSary to maintain the shape and size desired for the location. 
Late-summer-flowering and fall-flowering shrubs produce their blooms on wood of the same season’s growth. These may be pruned in late fall or early spring, 
preferably while dormant. This encourages new growth for, abundant new bloom.
