Pruning henderson's allamanda — FAQ
When should I prune henderson's allamanda?
Late winter to early spring before active growth resumes. Cut back main climbing stems by one-third to one-half, pruning to a node or lateral shoot. Remove any dead, crossing, or weak stems entirely. Tie remaining strong stems to their support after pruning.
How often does henderson's allamanda need pruning?
Annually in late winter; occasional light tidying through summer. Henderson's Allamanda is a strong-growing climber that needs firm annual pruning to prevent it becoming a tangled mass and to maximize flowering on new wood. Cut back long stems significantly in late winter. Wear gloves throughout — the milky latex sap causes skin irritation and is toxic if ingested.
