Deadhead Skimmia Japonica ‘Rubella’ (male)?

Question

I have healthy Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’ (male). It is now April and the flowers have changed white in colour. Should I deadhead the flowers? Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It isn't necessary to prune them during the active season, and can introduce unnecessary infection. It is advised to prune during dormancy.
