How to Prune garlic?
Garlic, with its bulbous growth and distinctive aromatic nature, benefits from minimal pruning. Focus on removing any yellowing or dead leaves in early to late spring. This encourages healthier growth and better bulb development. Prune flower stalks (scapes) when they appear to redirect the plant’s energy towards bulb formation. Ensuring good air circulation by spacing out the plants can also prevent disease. Pruning at the correct times fosters vigorous growth and enhances overall plant health.
