Yellow trumpetbush, known for its bright yellow trumpet-shaped flowers and vibrant foliage, requires strategic pruning to maintain its shape and vigor. Pruning should be conducted from early to late winter to spur healthy growth in spring. Focus on removing dead or damaged branches and thinning out crowded areas to enhance air circulation.
