WHEN AND HOW 
TO PRUNE 
YOUR SHRUBS 
Much mis-information has been 
given and is continually given as to 
the best method and time for pruning 
Flowering Shrubs. Many people 
make the mistake of pruning just be- 
for shrubs ore to bloom and usually 
results in losing the blooms for an 
entire year. The following rule is a 
good one to use: PRUNE SPRING 
BLOOMING SHUBS AFTER THEY 
HAVE BLOOMED IN THE SPRING 
AND SUMMER AND FALL BLOOM- 
ING SHRUBS IN THE WINTER TIME. 
Most Flowering Shrubs can stand a good 
amount of pruning and usually produce better 
blooms if they are pruned every three or four 
years. There is no set rule as to how far to 
trim back Flowering Shrubs but the lower 
growing varieties do better if trimmed fairly 
close to the ground. The taller growing varie- 
ties such as Crape Myrtle, Althea, Pomegra- 
nate, Bush Honeysuckle, etc., can be trimmed 
back to conform with the other shrubs in your 
planting.
