The appropriate time for pruning mock orange (Murraya paniculata) would typically be during the late winter or early spring. This is when the plant is generally less active in terms of growth, and pruning during this period helps stimulate new growth and maintain the plant's shape. However, it's essential to monitor the specific weather conditions in your area, as they can vary, and adjust the timing accordingly. Always aim to prune when the plant is not in active growth, and avoid extreme weather conditions.
