Nine Bark Shrub

Caring for Your Ninebark Shrub

A person can use a few tips to grow a ninebark shrub.

Tip 1: Pruning Time

• Wait until late fall before you start pruning or thinning them out.

• You could also prune in early spring when the blooming and new growth begins.

Tip 2: Trim Long Twigs

• Cut long twigs sticking out of the plant's top, bottom, and sides of the ninebark.

• Use pruning shears to cut the twigs 1/4 inch above the exterior bud or the bud facing the outside of the shrub.

Tip 3: Remove Interior Branches

• Remove all interior branches that can become very large.

• Use lopping shears for best results.

• Cut branches off at the point of origin of the plant.

• Only about one-third of the interior branches need to be removed during this pruning process.

Tip 4: Light Pruning After Bloom

• Do lighter pruning on branches that are out of place once the plant is in full bloom.

• This will help you see all of the offices of the ninebark.

• Be careful when using pruning tools.

Tip 5: Cut Back to the Ground

• Cut the branches back to the ground if needed.

• Remove one-third of the branches and thicker stems.

• This is necessary only if there is a lot of deadwood or uncontrolled growth that regular pruning will not correct.

Tip 6: Regular Pruning

• Ensure that you regularly prune the ninebark.

• This allows air to circulate through the shrub.

• Proper pruning reduces the chance of infections like powdery mildew.
