PRUNING AZALEAS
 |
How late can I prune my azaleas? – Bill from Monroe |
 |
Azaleas begin setting their buds for next year’s flowers sometime in July, so we like to be through with most pruning by then. I don’t exactly know when in July they start setting the buds but I imagine it fluctuates somewhat from year to year based on the weather conditions. After we get into August and September, some of the plants my have a branch or two that grows faster and sticks out of the shrub. You will not be sacrificing any notable blooming for the following year if you trim a few of these strong growing shoots here and there. Just minimize the amount of pruning. |
