You should prune your viburnum bush for the first time when it is about four years old and has grown vigorously. After that, it tolerates a moderate pruning every two to three years. First of all, let young plants grow in peace.
When they are in bloom, the flowers can be cut off and used as cut flowers
The best time to prune your snowball bush is after flowering, before the bush forms new shoots. Because the flowers will form on these shoots next year. This makes pruning easy even for beginners in gardening. Because if you cut off too many young shoots, your snowball bush will not bloom very luxuriantly next year.
The essentials in brief:
- Do not prune young plants at all
- later careful pruning every two to three years
- use sharp clean tools
tips
Do not cut off too many new shoots, otherwise your snowball will only bloom sparsely next year.
