Snow damaged burning bush
My burning bush was a bit damaged from the blizzard and earlier storms we had this year. Should I wait a year to prune it?

No! Prune off anything damaged or broken now in the spring so your burning bush can repair and regrow over the summer. Plants like yours are pretty resilient so I suspect you will have a great looking shrub within a year. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
