How Do I Prune a Gardenia

Question

I have a gardenia. It’s growing good butI want to know how I have to prune it so it will get taller. It’s a gerdenia tree that I have. It is still a baby, coming up to my knees, and I would like to know when it will bloom flowers?

Answer 1

To make a gardenia grow taller, trim only the sides of the bush. That will focus the energy on the upward growth. It should bloom this spring/summer. But if it is does not, it may be lacking something. This article will help if it does not bloom:
