: I have a burning bush that I would like to prune to about 2/3 it's size. How and when should I go about doing that? Can I do it all at once or will that kill the bush?

: Thanks!

You can prune these bushes just about any time. I would suggest you only do 1/3 of the bush at a time so as not to stress it too much. The very best time to prune them is late winter - late February to late March, depending upon your zone.
