My mother has a chinese lantern tree, and was wondering when to prune it.
After looking it up on the net, everywhere said to prune it in early spring
(now). But the problem is, it's starting to flower now. Do you prune it,
even though it's flowering? Or is it flowering early, and it should have
been pruned before it flowered? Or should it be left till after it's
flowered?

Thanks

Mine flowers all year round. I pruned it a month ago but would do it now if
I hadn't done so.

I was thinking hers flowered an awful lot of the year, but hadn't really

paid it much attention. Thanks
