Five plants that need to be pruned in March for beautiful flowering

Pruning plants, flowers, trees, and shrubs in early spring is not only about beauty and aesthetics but also a necessary measure that promotes better flowering and fertility. SSPDaily tells about it.

While April is the best time to prune many trees, experts remind us of five types of plants that must be pruned in early March. Pay attention to this, as it is thanks to this that the plants will grow better and delight you with their flowering. Horticultural expert Craig Wilson has indicated which plants should be pruned in March to stimulate their growth and flowering.

Wisteria

This beautiful plant can be pruned in February and March. So, if you didn't prune your wisteria in February, make sure you do it in March. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until summer, in July and August, for the next pruning opportunity. Trim the young shoots so that only two buds remain on each.

Roses

March is the best time to prune roses and rose bushes. Once it gets a little warmer and there is no frost, start pruning this plant in early spring. Don't be afraid to cut more; everything will grow back, and the shoots will become much longer. Trim closely spaced stems, making a 45-degree cut 5 to 7 millimeters above the bud level.

Hydrangea

To ensure your hydrangea blooms all summer long, remember to prune it in March. It's crucial to cut off all the stems for this plant.

Clematis

In March, it's essential to remove last year's growth. Cut the plant back to 25 to 30 centimeters above ground level. Regular pruning promotes vigorous growth and abundant flowering.

Fruit trees

And of course, don't forget to prune pear and apple trees while they are dormant. In March, you still have some time to prune branches, but once the tree starts budding and growing, it's too late. When pruning fruit trees, remember to shape the crown of the tree in a goblet shape so that light reaches all parts of the tree.
