When to prune:
Late spring or early summer (after new growth has started). Avoid pruning in fall or during frosts.
How to prune:
-
Lightly trim the tips to shape the plant.
-
Never cut into old, brown wood – it won’t regenerate!
-
Remove dead or dry branches for better airflow.
-
For topiary or formal shapes, you can prune again in late summer.
