pruning
Pruning for an Eastern Redbud (Cercis Canadensis 'JN2' THE RISING SUN) is best done late winter or very early spring, before its new growth emerges. This will help maintain its shape and encourage new growth in the spring. Pruning should be minimal, as hard pruning could reduce flowering in the upcoming season. Small, thin branches can be removed at any time of year, to clean up the shape or open up the center for better light penetration. Removing dead or diseased wood should also be done at any time of year. Overall, light pruning with a few small shaping cuts will help keep your Eastern Redbud healthy and happy!
