Right after flowering.

Purple leaf sand cherry shrub-prunus cistena-when to prune?
I would wait until spring. Trees in this family tend to have some winter die back on the branchlets because their sap is amongst the first to move up in the spring. Ergo, if you prune now, you'll probably have more die back to prune again in the spring.





Hope that helps!
Reply:I found pruning is best done according to the moon calender. That is no joke ; has been done for centuries and you still get them in some bookshops nowadays. I tells you when you should prune (eg. best at new moon) and when to feed - has worked wonders with all my plants (and feed with horsepoo:-)
