Best Timing for Shrub Trimming

Trimming at the right time promotes healthy growth and maintains the desired shape of shrubs.

Proper timing for shrub trimmings is essential to promote healthy growth and maintain the desired shape. The optimal period varies depending on the type of shrub and local climate conditions. Typically, late winter or early spring is ideal before new growth begins, while some shrubs can be trimmed after flowering or during late summer.

Early Spring Trimming

Pruning in early spring encourages vigorous growth and helps shape shrubs before active growth starts.

Post-Bloom Trimming

Trimming after flowering preserves the plant's health and encourages a second bloom in some species.

Late Summer Trimming

Light trimming in late summer can help manage size and remove dead or overgrown branches.

Avoid Mid-Season Pruning

Pruning during mid-season may interrupt flowering and affect plant health.
