Maple Tree · Gardenality Genius · Zone 10A · 30° to 35° F · Comment About Pruning
For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually after flowering to shape. Cut back Snowmound spirea in late winter every three to four years to rejuvenate the flowering branches and promote a healthier, fuller appearance. Shear off all the stems to a height of 2 inches using clean, sharp pruning loppers.
