How to Prune Coffee senna?
(Senna occidentalis)
Coffee senna, also known as Mogdad Coffee, Stephanie Coffee, Styptic weed, Coffeeweed
A leguminous shrub known for its yellow flowers and toxic properties, coffee senna benefits from careful pruning. Remove dead/infected branches anytime, and shape the shrub during spring to early fall. Regular trimming controls growth, stimulates flowering, and maintains plant health. Avoid extensive pruning late in the season to prevent tender growth from cold damage. Always wear gloves; coffee senna contains compounds harmful upon contact or ingestion.
