How to prune ecuador angel's trumpet

Early spring before new growth begins. For a tree, remove lower limbs cleanly as the plant grows. For a shrub, tip-prune branch ends to promote branching. Cut back to just above a healthy node; dead or damaged wood should be removed to the base.

Annually in spring; tip-pruning can continue lightly through the growing season. Brugmansia versicolor, one of the largest-flowered angel's trumpets, blooms on new wood so pruning directly drives flower production. Prune in early spring to shape and remove winter damage. Decide early whether you want a tree form (remove lower limbs) or bushy shrub (tip-prune branches). Wear gloves — all parts are toxic.
