What is the recommended pruning method for clethra hummingbird?

I usually do a little pruning in the early spring, just taking out about a third of the oldest and longest stems. That's before new growth starts popping up.

Clethra is a type of shrub that generally doesn't need much pruning, but if you're curious about how to prune it, it seems there's no specific method.

Don't worry, there's no special technique needed! You can simply make the cut at a 45-degree angle. This will help you drain the water and prevent rot.

To do this correctly, you have to separate any dead or damaged wood. Then, make your cuts just above a healthy branch junction. 🌿✂️
