About this episode
In this episode of Hort Culture, we dig into the do's and don'ts of spring pruning for landscape trees and shrubs in central Kentucky. We talk about the benefits of dormant pruning while plants are still asleep, and how timing your cuts can impact flowering later on. Learn why early bloomers like forsythia and lilac should be pruned after they flower, while late bloomers and non-flowering shrubs can be pruned earlier in the season. Whether you're shaping up evergreens or giving your hydrangeas a haircut, we’ve got the tips to help you prune with confidence this spring!
Simple pruning tips for your fruit trees during the dormant season
