Optimal Times for Shrub Trimming
Proper timing for shrub trimmings is essential for maintaining healthy and attractive plants. The optimal period varies depending on the type of shrub and local climate conditions, but generally, late winter to early spring and late summer to early fall are considered ideal times for trimming. These periods allow shrubs to recover quickly and promote vigorous growth.
Trimming in early spring encourages new growth and helps shape shrubs before the active growing season begins.
Late summer trimming can help control size and shape, and remove dead or damaged branches before winter.
Trimming during winter can expose shrubs to cold damage and hinder recovery, especially in colder climates.
Understanding the growth cycle of specific shrubs helps determine the best trimming window for optimal results.
