Shrubs for Foliage Shrubs grown primarily for their foliage should be pruned in late winter or very early spring before growth starts. That will reduce the possibility of winter injury. Pruning is a devitalizing process, and if a severe drop in temperature occurs soon after it is done, the plant may be damaged or killed. Narrow leaf evergreens, and plants like privet which make rapid growth early in the season, may receive a second pruning in early summer to maintain a desirable shape during the growing season. Spring Flowering Shrubs Shrubs which bloom in the spring, or early summer before the end of June, should be pruned as soon as the blooming season is over. Such shrubs form flower buds on shoots during late summer of the previous year. The pruning should be done after they bloom to secure a maximum beauty and allow vigorous growth during the summer to provide flower buds for the next year. The spring flowering shrubs listed below should be pruned immediately after the blooming season. Cercis chinensis — Chinese redbud
