It needs trimming back to be more bushy..when's the best time? Also when do I trim back my Oak Leaf Hydrngea?

NIKK..yes, its way out of control....but never knew when to exactly when to trim. I didn't want to kill it.

Prune half way to ground at any time. Just cut in half to stimulate root and branch growth.

Thanks for the pictures, beautiful.

I love seeing plants in others yards, can’t grow much here but Ponderosa pines and oak trees, lots of wild flowers, which I find many quite beautiful.

WHEN TO PRUNE OAKLEAF HYDRANGEA...

Oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) — This outstanding native native grows 6 to 8 feet tall and wide and develops striking burgundy-red fall foliage. Among the Grump’s favorite selections are ‘Snowflake’ (inner florets stay white, outer florets turn rose in summer), ‘Harmony’ (huge clusters of double white flowers), and ‘Pee Wee’ (dwarf plant to 3 feet tall, blooms at a young age). Oakleaf hydrangea blooms on the previous year’s growth, so cut it back (although it rarely needs it) in early summer.

I never had any luck with my Strawberry Hydrangea. I think it got to much water from the sprinkler system.

Here is a video on pruning.
