Wondering when to prune our elderberry bushes. We live in growing zone 7.
This is the 2nd year we've had them, we did no pruning the first 2 years.
From reading at different places I'm confused if it should be done in the dead of winter or early spring before shoots appear ?
Also, should it be pruned all the way to the ground or just the dead, weak or broken canes?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Genny
