How to prune lingonberry 'koralle'

Early spring before growth resumes, or after the autumn harvest. Snip out dead or damaged stems with clean scissors at the base. For light renovation of an aging, sprawling plant, shear the whole plant back by one-third in early spring — expect reduced yield that year as new growth matures.

Rarely; light renovation every 3–4 years as needed. Lingonberry 'Koralle' is a compact, highly productive cultivar of Vaccinium vitis-idaea that needs minimal pruning. Its naturally tidy habit requires only the removal of dead or damaged stems in spring. If the plant becomes woody and sprawling after several years, a light shearing after the fall harvest restores density without sacrificing the following spring crop.
