    When is the proper time to trim a fushia bush?

    Trimming Fuchsia

    You are enquiring I presume about the hardy Fuchsia magellanica. These shrubs flower on the current year's growth. As buds begin to swell in early spring (late February, early March) cut back annually to low permanent framework.
    Good luck.

    Yes, that is the one.. however, I think it got killed in the big freeze of 2004.. there is not one speck of green anywhere. I suspect the buds would have been visible by now?
