You can prune
the weak growth from summer flowering clematis and cut back late-flowering
clematis to 15-30cm from the ground.
Wisteria will benefit from a final
pruning, cut back laterals and side shoots to within two or three buds of the
main stem. Wear gloves to protect your hands.
- Prune apples, pears and gooseberries by the end of February.
- Hard prune shrubs such as buddleia and winter-flowering shrubs that have finished flowering
- Thin out the branches of lilacs
- Prune roses, cutting back stems by a half to two thirds.
- Cut rambler stems that have flowered
- Prune hardy evergreen and deciduous hedges.
- Cut back the stems of salix and cornus to between 5cm and 15cm from the ground
- Cut autumn-fruiting raspberries back to ground level
