Rosemary Pruned Too Early in Spring (Zone 7B): Recovery Steps

Pruning in late March (Zone 7B) was too early—cold damaged cut stems. Unpruned parts grew normally.

Fix

• Wait for warmer weather.
• Then prune new growth by 1/3 from top down.
• Feed at pruning time.
• Blend pruned shape with new growth.

Early pruning exposes tender tissue to frost. Patience yields recovery.
