When Do You Prune Red Tips

Question

When do you prune red tips without killing them and how can you start new cuttings?

Answer 1

Prune your Red Tip Photinia anytime between spring and early fall, with late spring/early summer more acceptable. Red Tips are excellent candidates for rejuvenation pruning. To rejuvenate the plant, cut it all the way back to the ground...to about 6 inches from the ground.
