How to Prune Bunchberry dogwood?
(Cornus canadensis)
Bunchberry dogwood, also known as Canadian bunchberry, Canadian dwarf cornel, Quatre-temps, Pudding berries
An herbaceous perennial groundcover, bunchberry dogwood is renowned for its low-lying habitat and ability to spread quickly, featuring white, star-like bracts that distinguish from the greenery. For robust growth and control spread, prune bunchberry dogwood in early spring before new growth begins or in late summer after flowering. Reduce crowding by trimming out old or damaged stems at ground level. Pruning can stimulate denser foliage, maintain plant health, and enhance the next season's flowering. Always use clean, sharp tools to minimize stress.
