trimming a burning bush

I want to trim a burning bush to shape it better before it gets too big. It has all green leaves now. If I shape it now ,will it still turn red later this year like it should?
Thank you
Betty

You should prune in early spring, so I would wait until next year.

You can trim burning bush now and it will still have fall color. Heavy pruning is best done during the dormant season.
