Here is the BEST Time to Prune Cinnamon in Montana (2023 Guide)

Do you want to prune your cinnamon in Montana, but don’t know when the best time to do so is?

Pruning cinnamon is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Cinnamon Plants can only be pruned during three specific time periods or else the plant may not produce a harvest or even die.

So if you prune them too early they will die and if you prune them too late you’ll limit your harvest. And if you prune them too much you won’t get any harvest!

When to Prune Cinnamon in Montana

BEST Time to Prune Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, and Flower Plants!

There are three specific times you should prune your cinnamon plants:

  1. Early Season
  • When it is time to transplant your cinnamon plants into another pot or even your garden, simply prune 1 inch off the top of the plant down to its leaves. Repeat this for two to three of the largest stems.

2. Mid-Season

  • In the first 3 weeks that your cinnamon plants grow flowers you will want to prune them off. By pruning flowers off your cinnamon plants you encourage your plant to put its nutrients into its root system first. This will then allow your plant to have even more flowers and harvest.

3. Late Season

  • Finally, you want to prune your cinnamon plant throughout late summer to help promote a healthy plant and more harvest. In the late season, prune any dead leaves or stems any diseased harvest, and any suckers.
