Loropetalums – Winter Pruning
Q: I have some large, ten-year old loropetalums that are seven feet tall. Can I prune them down to three feet tall right now?
A: You’ll be pruning away the flower buds for spring bloom if you do it now but late winter is certainly the best time to prune when considering plant health.
