How to Prune Meadow horsetail?
(Equisetum pratense)
Meadow horsetail, also known as Meadow horsetail
A perennial fern ally, meadow horsetail is recognized by its segmented green stems and cone-like spore-producing structures. Key pruning involves removing dead or damaged stems to maintain plant health and appearance. The optimal period is spring or summer, coinciding with active growth phases. Pruning promotes air circulation and reduces disease risk. Specific to meadow horsetail, careful removal of non-viable stems enhances the plant's structural integrity due to its brittle nature.
