About this episode

Nathan discusses which plants should not be pruned until after they bloom in the spring.

This week, Nathan talks about what you should NOT be doing in the garden any time soon: pruning your "old wood" blooming plants! Nathan describes the difference between "old wood" and "new wood" blooming plants and lists out the special spring bloomers you shouldn't prune until after their flowers have faded. If her in doubt, remember, "If it blooms before June, do not prune...until after it blooms."
