rootsnursery.com Jon is pruning a burning bush thats gotten way out of hand. and yes thats halloween makeup in his hair! This is my first real editing job, so I hope its not too long and every bit is helpful. I tried to make it fun!
He used a lopper, hand pruners and a pruning saw. First step is to cut all the dead and unhealthy stuff out. Then remove the branches from the crown (the bottom) Cut close, but not flush up against the main stem. Go through and look for branches that are crossing, or are too crowded. If you want to take the bush down a few feet, trim for height. you can cut it back hard in late fall (rule of thumb is after at least one hard freeze/killing frost)
I think it looks SO cool cut back this way... tell me what YOU think!
