Pruning Advice

Best Time to Prune: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This timing helps avoid cutting into fresh shoots and allows the plant to put out new growth when the weather warms up.

Shaping: Spindle Bravo responds well to pruning and can be shaped into neat hedges or topiary forms. It is ideal for creating formal garden structures or maintaining a tidy, compact shape.

Maintenance Pruning: Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches to encourage healthy growth and improve airflow. Light pruning throughout the year can help maintain its shape, but avoid cutting back too hard.

Avoid Over Pruning: While the plant tolerates pruning well, avoid excessive cutting, which can weaken the structure. Focus on shaping and maintaining a natural form to keep the plant healthy.
