Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

When is the best time to prune my evergreen Berberis?

Our Advice:

As soon as the flowers die off, as this gives the plant time produce new growth and flowers for the following year. These plants can cope with hard pruning, even removing up to two-thirds of the woody growth, but do feed well afterwards.
