I am glad to hear from you and thank you for reading our weekly blogs.
As for pruning the Gold Mop Cypress, my advise to customers is to only prune when absolutely necessary. Too much pruning will result in an unnatural look. I like it when shrubs can grow and look natural. This is why I stress to everyone to know the growing dimensions of any shrub or tree and plant it in a space with these dimensions in mind. Now, if you need to prune then you may want to wait until next we get much colder and the cypress becomes dormant. So, December would be the earliest time to prune. One tip: if you want to do a little judicious pruning in December then you can use these clippings in some holiday decorating.
