When should I prune tagar?
Throughout the growing season. Pinch or snip stems just above a pair of leaves to encourage branching.
How often does tagar need pruning?
Every 1–2 weeks in season. Tagar responds well to regular light pruning. Pinching back the growing tips every couple of weeks keeps the plant bushy, delays flowering (which can turn the leaves bitter), and gives you a steady harvest. Always cut just above a leaf node.
