Hey, would you mind telling me how to prune my hydrangea tree? I'd love to learn!
You can start pruning in early spring, and we're here to help you every step of the way!
Here's a tip: you can prune dead leaves or leaves that have been damaged. Just remember to use sharp garden shears, and don't forget your gloves! We want you to feel comfortable and safe.
When you prune them, try to do it after they've flowered so that your plant won't get stressed out. If there's any damaged or dead parts, just snip 'em out with some sharp scissors!
To protect your hands, it's a good idea to wear gloves, since the sap can irritate the skin. Be sure to use sharp scissors to snip off any damaged or dead leaves, and you'll be encouraging new growth in no time! And if you want to jumpstart the growth even earlier, this is an excellent time to do it.
When I prune this plant, I like to do it in late winter or early spring. I make sure to only pick out the bad parts.
