How to Prune a Pierus Tree - Video Tutorials with Plant Amnesty

How to Prune a Pierus Tree - Video Tutorials with Plant Amnesty. Plant Amnesty, established in 1987, is a 1000-member mock-militant nonprofit organization whose purpose is to end the senseless torture and mutilation of trees and shrubs caused by mal-pruning. We have a sense of humor and a mission. We specialize in using the media to alert the public to crimes against nature being committed in their own back yards, specifically tree topping and the nuisance shearing of shrubs. Once we have the public's attention, we supply all the solutions: a referral service of skilled gardeners and arborists, classes and workshops, and RUclips videos and how-to literature on selective pruning in English and in Spanish. And we host volunteer pruning events for needy and deserving trees and gardens, including the Arbor Day Tree Prune and Volunteer Yard Renovations.

taking off livewood wont hurt the tree if you do it at the right time of year. This is a common species in bonsai where pruning back livewood quite aggressively is done once or twice a year.
Pruning just after flowering in spring is the ideal time.
