Plant Maintenance Honey Bunch Wax* plants can be lightly pruned throughout the year for shaping. For best results, pruning should begin after flowering has finished. Flowers will develop on new growth, with buds beginning to form in the fall months. If Honey Bunch Wax* plants are used for hedges, the frequency of pruning will depend on the growth rate and location of the plant. As a general rule, trimming should begin after flowering has finished and continue until mid to late fall. Generally, only light pruning is necessary. If heavy pruning is required, it should be done immediately after flowering finishes to allow the spring push to replace the remove growth. To ensure survival after heavy pruning, reframe from cutting the plant back more than fifty percent. |
