How to Prune Leggy Plants🦵🦵🌱🌱 - In this video I show how I prune plants that have stretched out in low light to keep a full shape. Frequently plants will put on new growth but will leave thin areas in the middle of the plant.

Pruning is an art. It makes an enormous difference to a garden.

@Steggington_Rex Год назад

Really glad I found this channel before This season starts. So many tips, so clear and well presented. Thanks for all the hard work in helping us new gardeners

@fattyslim96 Год назад

Jim changed my life!

@gabeablin324 Год назад

Just about to go outside and attempt to prune a leggy abutillon. Perfect timing!

@jcking6785 Год назад

Who is that four legged little cutie pie walking behind the lorapetalum at 4:40?

@feliciahutchins4237 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I bought the house with the worst yard. I am known for killing everything until I started watching your channel. Now my neighbor hate me and my family is baffled. My property taxes went up 😊 Trying to cope with the side affect of implementing your wisdom into my landscape. Just to deal.😂😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤ your channel.🎉🎉🎉 for all of my family and neighbors who laughed.

Thank you so much! This addresses an issue that was bothering me - now I know how to tackle it! I just can't afford a gardener! Yay, so helpful, thank you 🎉

@8helenjhouston8 Год назад

Hooray another pruning video - please keep them coming!!!

@sainspired5332 Год назад

This is the first time EVER I've seen a chindo Viburnum not already trimmed, manicured. I have one several years old and it's GREAT to see what could happen to mine in the future..it's heavily shaded in the summer, some sun, not reaching a lot YET!

@JennJenn9 Год назад

New game - have a drink every time Jim says “meatball” 🤣

@joycearthur5244 Год назад

Hope you show hydrangea pruning.

@judymckerrow6720 Год назад

Thanks Jim and Stephany. ❄️💚🙃

@sainspired5332 Год назад

YESSS, MUCH APPRECIATED!! My kind of video🔥💯🙌

@pamelacallaway3922 Год назад

Thanks for the great tutorials and explanations on trimming for fill in growth.

@lukerobson4962 Год назад

Great tips

@jeanrothman8516 Год назад

Great tips as always

@missdeeva2266 Год назад

Thanks Jim! Informative as always. Needing to wait here...the arctic blast in December East TN really did a number on all our plants/trees. Will be interesting in April/May around here

@glendapeters8899 Год назад

As always a wealth of helpful information. I'll be trimming some shrubs soon and use some of these techniques!

@juneramirez8580 Год назад

Just what I needed. Getting ready to start trimming over grown shrubs

@cherylstrawn9448 Год назад

Learning something new every day! The young osmanthus that you prune toward the end of the video looks a lot like a "mystery shrub" in my backyard foundation bed. Original owner of property said it was a "mock olive." Will see how it behaves this year and hopefully I can figure out what type of plant it is. Keeping fingers crossed that the jewel box distylium and lemon lime nandinas aren't dead. My neighbor's very old and tall nandina domesticas lost all of their leaves and berries after the December cold snap, but they are now starting to leaf out--hooray!

@janebutler5643 Год назад

Very helpful! Thank you!

@SheriShea1 Год назад

Great information 👍

@kimberly8185 Год назад

I love that you didn't prune it because of the birds nest. Most guys wouldn't care. ❤️

@gabby2u1963 Год назад

Hi Jim been following your channel for a while super informative. I live in Chicago's zone 6b and have 3 ninebark that need to be pruned when would be the best time to handle this project??? And how much should I prune off to make them look fuller. The plants are now entering thier 4th season and have gotten quite tall

@remohor Год назад

Hello Jim, can you do a video regarding trees and shrubs that you recommend per State? I'm in Dallas, Texas and I would appreciate it. Been a subscriber and I trust your recommendations.

@Flower_hoarder Год назад

@heatherw.2751 Год назад

Will osmanthus respond well to being tree formed?

@sheilakethley5351 Год назад

My lorepetalum suffered a hideous demise with the crazy freeze in December. I was about to go out and face the music and remove them, then I broke my wrist. I’m just gazing out the window at this horticultural graveyard

@tanasuter5777 Год назад

Hey, Jim! Love your channel. We have a Cherokee princess dogwood in a full sun site that has now had 3 trees in a space of 3 years. First year trunk split, second year no growth at all, and now this tree put in last May which does not look promising. When I trimmed off the spindly, crossed limbs a few weeks ago, it was clear some were dead while others still had some green. But no budding yet. We are in zone 7b Virginia with our favorite clay soil, and with some compost amendment. I know dogwoods can be challenging, but I am a Virginian and feel a responsibility not to replace it with a Kousa. Any suggestions? Should I just give up and put in a crape Myrtle?

@juneramirez8580 Год назад

I'm not Jim, BUT three trees in three years same spot? I would give up and try something different. Had young stone fruit trees die quickly after a few years in ground and haven't replaced then with more trees.

@katiekane5247 Год назад

My beloved Gardenia, variety unknown, started from a friend, took a terrible hit this winter. I'm letting it be ugly until I see what's viable & the chance of another hard freeze fades. It may have to go close to the ground 😢 After years of growing this gift, it's not going to be easy to cut so hard. Would you wait until April in 7b Jim?

@LeeB5 Год назад

What do I do when mine are completely brown from the arctic blast(in Arkansas)7b/8a? Love your vids💕

@juneramirez8580 Год назад

Lee Look at Katie Kanes comment for good advice.

@fattyslim96 Год назад

He said, “loropetalum” 😅

@lisagreen7499 Год назад

How would you prune conifers where you can’t see the cuts and NOT make them meatballs or teepees? I resist planting them because I don’t like the unnatural shapes.

@JimPutnam Год назад

Conifers as a group tend to be more formal looking, but there are interesting dwarf pines and false cypress that have more interesting open looks

@feliciahutchins4237 Год назад

I believe that 2022 freezes in North Alabama might have killed my daydream loropetalums sunshine ligustrum. About a week after the last freeze the stems became extremely thin. My David Austin Roses lost all of it leaves, but about a month ago it started leafing out. Should I prune, replace, and or just leave the Daydream Loropetalums and Sunshine Ligustrums? All of my encore azalea look so brown that I thought that they were dead. Ironically, they seem to have had a growth spurt even though we are consistently experiencing record Lows.

@juneramirez8580 Год назад

I am pretty sure the plants will come back IF the roots didn't die also. Give them a chance to show growth and trim a little later after your last frost date is expected. That dead stuff insulates lower growth

@feliciahutchins4237 Год назад

A question about US zones and using it in Sweden? I live in the mildest climate there is here, lowest is -8 to -10 night time for only few days, snow appears but never more than for a week before it disappears with rain. Usually it’s between-3 and +3 in the winter. BUT our summers aren’t that hot either. Normally between 22 to 27 with max 32-35. So, what US zone should I use? Oh, degrees CELSIUS of course. 🫠
