When to Prune Trees & Shrubs
When should you prune?
Spring-flowering trees & shrubs
Prune shortly after they finished flowering and after leaves have fully opened.
Summer-flowering trees & shrubs
Prune late winter to early spring, before the leaves appear.
Evergreens
Prune when evergreens are actively growing in late spring.
All other trees & shrubs
Prune while dormant in late winter to early spring before the leaves open.
Exception: birch and maple trees. Prune in full leaf, about July.
