Описание: In this video, I’m pruning Heath and Heather. Winter-blooming Heath and Summer-blooming Heather can be pruned at the same time, although what to prune differs for each one. I demonstrate how to prune heath and heather using hand pruners and garden shears. Fertilizer is also discussed.

☀️ FERTILIZER MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO ☀️

Heath and heather prefer acid soil, so feed them with an acid-based, slow release organic fertilizer — shortly after you do any pruning.
