Cherry Laurel

Question

When is the best time to prune cherry laurel bushes (to maintain 3 foot height and about 4 foot diameter) as part of a few other bushes in the garden? If pruned in the fall, would any flowers be lost for the next spring?

Answer 1

As with most shrubs, it is best to prune things in spring. It is still early enough that they will be ok, so I don't see a problem with pruning. But for most thing, it is best to prune in spring.
