Spring rejuvenation pruning on Summer Wine Ninebark shrubs.

Summer Wine Ninebark shrubs like a good hair cut in the spring. For rejuvenation pruning, make sure you cut them back before they start leafing out this spring. Hope you enjoy our video, tips, and comments, now go grab your pruning shears!

Thank you for the very clear explanations. Was a bit frightened of tackling my Ninebark, but feel a lot more reassured now

Great video! This is exactly what I needed. I also wanted to preserve its natural growth and prevent it from becoming weedy. This is perfect! Thank you!

Hi,
I love your video. My friend just cut her 6' tall Summer Wine Ninebark to almost ground level yesterday. Seems not a good time. I would like to dig it out and transplant it to my yard next week when temperature comes down to 70s. Do you think the plant will be able to survive?

I have never pruned mine...and I don't know if it's a summer wine or another type. It's currently about 9 ft tall and maybe 9 ft wide. Super happy where I planted it, to say the least. I'm in west central Ohio and would like to do some pruning now here in late November. I have heard now is okay and also that I should wait until after it flowers next spring. Your thoughts?

I’d like to know how you’re keeping all the weeds down all around those bushes? If you’re putting the weed barrier/plastic down and covering ground, how much room do you need to plant your bush without stunting the growth of the brush?

Great presentation - Wasn't clear on the timing - can this be done in October/ November or better to wait for spring. We are in Iowa.

Hi my nine bark is not full like these. I think it was due to not enough sunlight so I moved where it should be getting at least 6 hrs of sun. They are already about 9 ft tall but not full at all. Now seeing this video I plan on pruning next spring. Should I cut back all the way down?

Thank you for this clear video- super informative. I have 3 summer wine, and 3 diablo, 2 amber jubilee, and 3 little devil nine barks. I love them! How often do you perform this? Every Spring?
