Cutting back Hybiscus trees


Question
I have 2 hybiscus trees in containers, I will put the pots in a bldg for the winter, question do I cut them back before I put them up or after I take them out in the spring

Answer
Hi Kris,
Thanx for your question.  You may prune them now to neaten them up but I wouldnt cut them back too far.  Just enough to keep them neat.  Don't prune after winter as this may reduce blooming by cutting off new wood on which will grow the new flowers.  I hope this helps.
Tom
