Joshua Tree Experts’ Tree Care Franchise Facilitator, Ken Wickham, shared his expertise in the recent Homes & Gardens article, "When to Prune Barberry – Experts Reveal the Exact Timing for Deciduous and Evergreen Varieties". The feature offers insightful guidance on maintaining barberry shrubs for optimal health and aesthetics.
Ken, an ISA-Certified Arborist, provided key advice on pruning techniques, emphasizing the importance of timing and technique. For deciduous barberries, he recommended thinning interior branches during dormancy to improve air circulation and light penetration. For evergreen varieties, Ken suggested pruning after flowering or in winter to enjoy the vibrant berries while avoiding overgrowth.
Highlighting the role of pruning in plant health, Ken remarked:
"Trim back overgrown areas to maintain shape and size. Always prune back to a bud or branch junction without overdoing it, and check for suckers to maintain the plant’s form."
