the spring and early summer of the s&me season. Such shrubs should be pruned in late winter to promote early season shoot growth. Buds will form on the new stems and produce attractive flowers during the summer or fall. The summer flowering shrubs listed below should be pruned in late winter or early spring before growth starts. Abelia x grandiflora — Glossy abelia

The plant should then be thinned out, headed back or sheared, depending on the type of shrub and its location and use in the landscape. Shrubs which develop numerous stems are pruned by a continuous renewal process. During the first few years after planting only light heading back and thinning out is needed. After the shrub reaches mature size, several of the oldest stems should be removed each year, and vigorous young shoots should be retained to provide stems for renewal. Remove weak, prostrate and broken or damaged stems. The remaining branches should be headed back and thinned out as needed to develop the desired form and size. The thinning out /should be sufficient to allow light to reach the young shoots which develop from the crown of the plant. Multiple stem shrubs which have been neglected and have become quite dense may be cut down to short stubs for renewal. This results in a rather unattractive appearance for a year or more, but may be satisfactory procedure if the shrub is of a desirable species and is in an appropriate location. Shrubs which have a dense bushy type of growth with only one, or a limited number of main stems, are pruned by thinning out and heading back the side branches. Remove a few branches each year to thin ou the top of the plant and allow light to penetrate. Cut back long branches to maintain an informal natural shape, and size which is suitable for the location.
