Topic: Pruning prunus - too late?

Thanks.

I always thought that prunus was a summer pruning task. Something to do with silver leaf, the cuts heal much quicker in summer with less chance of the pathogen gaining entry at the wound site.

But hey! I dont know how to prune blackcurrants!! Im sure a knowledgeable pruner will along very soon ;)

I think you should prune plums, and presumably other prunus, in the growing season.

Thanks both. Star, that was my thought too. :)
