Pruning & Trimming Services for Red Flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum)
Red flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) is a stunning shrub that adds vibrant color to your garden, especially in early spring when it bursts into bloom. However, like all plants, it requires regular pruning and trimming to maintain its health and appearance. Proper pruning not only enhances the plant’s aesthetic appeal but also promotes better air circulation, encourages new growth, and can even prevent disease. If you’re wondering how to keep your red flowering currant thriving, this guide will walk you through the essential steps of pruning and trimming.
Our Approach
- Assessment: We start with a thorough evaluation of your red flowering currant, identifying any dead or diseased branches that need attention.
- Timing: Pruning is ideally done after flowering, typically in late spring. This timing ensures that you don’t cut off the buds that will produce next year’s flowers.
- Technique: Using sharp, clean tools, we employ proper pruning techniques to avoid damaging the plant. This includes cutting at an angle and just above a node to encourage healthy growth.
- Cleanup: After pruning, we tidy up the area by removing all debris and ensuring that your garden looks its best.
We’re a low-maintenance landscaping crew. Our goal is fewer problems between visits and less work for you.
