How to Prune Black haw?
(Viburnum prunifolium)
Black haw, also known as Stag bush, Stagberry, Smooth blackhaw viburnum
A deciduous shrub known for its glossy foliage and clusters of white flowers, black haw benefits notably from selective pruning. Remove dead or diseased branches anytime; for shaping and rejuvenating, prune immediately after flowering in late spring. This timing allows for the setting of next year's buds while preserving the current season's blooms. Pruning promotes healthy growth, enhances form, and prevents overcrowding, maintaining the plant's appealing ornamental presence.
