I would like to hard prune a Satsuki. What's the best time to hard prune a
Satsuki? I am in zone 7 - Portland Oregon, and fall has just arrived.

right 1 week after the flowering season ended
it isi quite late now , if you do it now the new
offsprings will carry no flowers buds next
season and it is is cold like in my zone 7
probably will have if not even offsprings and
branch will dry out and die
