✂️ Prune smoke bushes late winter to early spring for optimal growth and health. 🌿 Thinning improves air circulation and prevents overcrowding in dense growth. 🌸 Avoid over-pruning; remove no more than 30% to maintain flowering and vitality.

Late Winter to Early Spring: Prune your smoke tree from late winter to early spring, ideally around March. This is when the tree is dormant and can handle pruning the best. Check Your Climate: Depending on where you live, the exact timing might change.
