An experienced gardener knows that it is better not to prune 2-3 year old bushes, as the plant needs time to take root in a new place.
But it is also important not to miss the time of the first pruning, since an overgrown bush is quite difficult to tidy up.
Most shrubs grow quickly, but one day you may find that it becomes quite difficult to get through the branches and foliage.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Peculiarities of pruning shrubs in December
If the procedure is carried out during the plant’s dormant period, it will grow faster and more actively in the spring.

When pruning in winter, it is important to use clean, sharp tools and follow safety precautions.
To avoid damaging a thick branch, it is better to make the cut 30 cm above the desired place. You can shorten branches that gave few flowers last season.
