Guelder Rose does not need much pruning or maintenance, being one of the very few plants that produce flowers and berries on previous year's growth. If you have a healthy plant, new stems will always grow each year- you will just need to give it a general trim to maintain its shape. Any pruning should be done near the end of Spring, removing dead, broken, or overcrowded branches. Up to one-third of the plant can be trimmed each year.̴Ì?

Please note: Even though trimming the plant will lead to a loss of berries the same year, there will be a much stronger, healthier yield of berries the following year.̴Ì?

Hard pruning will need to be done to overgrown/old plants, and must be done in the late Autumn months, before Winter.̴Ì?
