How to Prune Orange Jasmine?

Though the orange jasmine is relatively fast-growing and easy to shape, it’s best not to over-prune - the plant only needs a regular light pruning. Pruning helps to keep your plants in good shape, preventing them from looking too bushy and all over the place. Prune once or twice a year to get rid of any dead or damaged branches. Cut back the top growth to maintain your preferred plant height. Lightly prune your plant after flowering to promote increased flowering for the next spring.
