    Pruning shrubs in the spring is a common task for many homeowners. Pruning in spring allows ample time for cuts to heal quickly and hide themselves with new foliage. It also provides a good opportunity for homeowners to examine the structure of shrubs while they are bare of leaves. There are common misunderstandings surrounding spring pruning, however. Some people prune too frequently assuming all shrubs need regular thinning and shaping. Others wait so long to prune a problem shrub that it becomes difficult to do the job properly. Spring pruning is not hard, but it does take planning, research and the right tools.

    Depends on the bush. Some it's best to wait til fall. 

    prune the dead stuff away...anything that hasnt sprouted can be harmlessly eliminated.  lightly prune to shape any living branches/stems.

    Depends I guess. I thought the rule of thumb was to wait until the sap stops running............

    Lilac bushes are best trimmed after they bloom in the spring. do it before new flowers are setting.  buds for next season.

    Consult with a professional landscaper they will give you the right info on pruning bushes and the right time of the year for pruning
