Pruning in Anticipation of Growth Stimulation
In general, except for the cases already cited, the best
time to prune is when the plant will recover the fastest.
Severe pruning should be done just before regrowth
starts in the spring so bare stubs will be hidden quickly.
Pruning in late summer should be avoided since it
stimulates succulent growth which may not harden
sufficiently to avoid winter dieback. Storm-damaged
plants should be pruned as soon after the damage
occurs as possible.
