Cut back winter and summer jasmine plants outside is all about timing and method may vary depending on the specific variety and your location.
For summer jasmine, which blooms on new wood, the best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. You can cut back the previous year’s growth to a few inches above the ground or prune selectively to remove damaged or unwanted branches. Avoid cutting into old wood, as this may reduce or eliminate flowering.
For winter jasmine, which blooms on old wood, the best time to prune is immediately after flowering in late winter or early spring. Cut back any overgrown or damaged branches, but be careful not to remove too much of the previous year’s growth, as this may reduce flowering.
It’s also a good idea to prune any dead or diseased wood throughout the year to keep the plant healthy and promote new growth.
Remember to wear gloves and use sharp, clean pruning shears when cutting back jasmine plants.
