Hi, Karen,
Prunus lusitanica is in pruning group 1 which means it should be lightly pruned after flowering. Do you have it in your 'Plants I Have' list? If so, you will get detailed, monthly care instructions on what to do with it and when.

Hi there, please can you give me advice on pruning this plant - I want it for the back of a border and whilst it has plenty of space at the moment, I would like to know if I can prune it at a later date to keep it shrubby and bushy to avoid it getting too tall once it has established.
Any tips gratefully received
Many thanks

This is often used as a hedging plant and is more tolerant of chalk than other Prunus species. It is often dense enough to be used as a nesting site by birds like the song thrush and its flowers offer nectar and pollen to bees.
