When to prune the bamboo

Pruning of schisandra bamboo can be done all year round, but it is best to do it during the winter dormancy period so that the wounds can recover quickly. All branches should be cut off when pruning schisandra bamboo. Generally, it is pruned once a year, and the branches are cut off from the base to reduce the number of branches. When pruning old plants, leave 2-3 cm to make the tree shape smooth.
