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. 🌿✂️

When it comes to pruning this plant, I like to do it in late winter, right before it starts to sprout new growth. I always use clean, sharp pruning shears to give you those precise cuts.
