Pruning
The Lomatia tree is an evergreen shrub or small tree, characterized by its fern-like leaves and clusters of white flowers. To maintain its health, improve flowering, and prevent pests, it's best to prune in early spring. Focus on removing dead branches, thinning the shrub, and shaping it. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools to prevent infections.
