Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only dead , morbid , damaged , or crossed branches , can be done in early spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , new increment which produces summertime flowers - in other words , flowers seem on young wood);summer snip after flower(after efflorescence , reduce back shoots , and take out some of the one-time growth , down to the ground);suckering drug abuse pruning(flowers appear on wood from previous year . Cut back blossom radical by 1/2 , to strong mature new shoot and take away 1/2 of the flower stem a couple of column inch from the ground ) Always hit dead , damaged or diseased forest first , no matter what character of pruning you are doing .
Examples : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . Spring : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . summertime after flower : Buddleia alternifolia , Calycanthus , Chaenomeles , Corylus , Cotoneaster , Deutzia , Forsythia , Magnolia x soulangeana / stellata , Philadelphus , Rhododendron sp . , Ribes , Spirea x arguta / prunifolia / thunbergii , Syringa , Weigela . Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a gob twice the size of it of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the bush was in the container . If soil is poor , dig hole even wider and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or grease amendment .
Carefully remove bush from container and gently separate roots . Position in center of gob , best side facing onward . Fill in with original land or an amended mixture if needed as key above . For larger shrub , build a urine well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If the plant is ball - and - burlapped , remove fixing and pen up back the top of natural burlap , pucker it down into gob , after you ’ve place bush . verify that all burlap is bury so that it wo n’t wick water away from rootball during live , dry periods . If synthetical burlap , remove if possible . If not possible , cut aside or make slits to allow for ascendent to make grow into the new grunge . For larger shrubs , ramp up a water well . Finish by mulch and watering well .
If shrub is bare - root , look for a stain somewhere near the base ; this mark is likely where the land short letter was . If soil is too sandy or too clayey , add together organic matter . This will help with both drain and water holding content . Fill territory , firming just enough to support bush . Finish by mulching and watering well .
