what is the best time of the year to prune liveoaks
in the dead of winter when growth is most impeded.
Apple trees require pruning twice a year. In summer shorten all the new shoots by two thirds, in winter prune back to one bud from fruiting spurs.
In Spring after flowering if pruning is necessary.
The usual answer is immediately after they have flowered. If you prune them more than once a year they are called a hedge.
I would guess that the best time to prune the tree would be after any chance of frost is over, but before the tree blooms. Otherwise, you risk cutting off the young fruit and will have year of few or no grapefruit. Most citrus matures in November-December.
Prune any begonia anytime. You can't hurt it. In fact, you can't get rid of it.
Prune juice or apple juice.
When is a good time to cut back azalea bush? No matter what time of the year my husband trims back the azalea bush it does not produce large number of flowers.
I will depend on the type of trees. cherry trees should be pruned in the fall but some are best pruned int he summer.
During dormancy and after the bloom is the best time to prune a rose of Sharon bush, but the woody plant in question (Hibiscus syriacus) may be pruned in accordance with the Ginezumi rule of the pruning "d's" -- damaged, diseased, (never been) done, dry, dying.As long as the cut is not made into wet wood (which encourages canker) and with the provision that cutting during the bloom may affect flowering that year, but not thereafter.
