How do I prune a European cranberry bush?
Select a day during very early spring to prune your European cranberry bush. Look the bush over and locate broken, dry or damaged branches. Check for diseased branches you need to remove too. Take sharp pruning shears and start cutting these branches. Cut damaged and broken branches at the joint of the parent branch. Remove dead branches in the same way. Burn the cut branches, or haul them away as soon as possible, because harmful insects and diseases can make their home in these.
