Japanese Pruning Timing Guide

Prune Japanese plants during specific seasons to promote healthy growth and enhance appearance.

Japanese prunings are typically performed during specific periods to promote healthy growth and maintain aesthetic appeal. The optimal time for pruning depends on the type of pruning and the desired outcome, with late winter and early spring being the most common.

Winter Pruning

Performed when the plant is dormant, usually in late winter. This encourages vigorous growth in the upcoming season.

Spring Pruning

Ideal for shaping and removing dead or damaged branches as the plant begins to grow.

Summer Pruning

Used to control size and shape, typically done early in the season to prevent overgrowth.

Autumn Pruning

Less common, mainly for removing fallen or diseased branches after the growing season.
