| In March and April alone, daphne, forsythia, camellias, Japanese quince and lilacs continue in bloom. |
| For early blooming shrubs such as forsythia and viburnum, prune them as soon as blooms have passed. |
| These include viburnums, forsythia, spiraea, osmanthus, deutzia, weigela and similar plants. |
| Good candidates are aucuba, barberry, forsythia, holly, honey-suckle, hydrangea, spirraea, weigela and even roses. |
