Do you prune a Andromeda bush?

Yes, pruning an Andromeda bush (Pieris japonica) is beneficial for maintaining its shape and promoting healthy growth. It's best to prune after flowering in late spring to avoid cutting off new buds. Remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the plant as needed, but avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant. Regular light pruning helps encourage denser foliage and improves air circulation.
