How to Prune common broom?
Scotch broom is an invasive shrub known for its bright yellow flowers and rapid spread. Key pruning techniques include cutting back old or dead wood and shaping the plant to maintain form. The optimal time for pruning is later spring, just after flowering, to encourage healthier regrowth and control its spread. Regular pruning prevents it from becoming leggy and helps manage invasive tendencies, promoting stronger, more compact growth.
