Thank you.

Can my woody lavender plants be saved if I trim them back next week?

My lavender is very woody now. Can they be saved if I still cut them back next week?

That’s my grandpa’s brother. Both he and my grandpa built the base of the windmill. Grandpa was the first American miller of the windmill in 1965, and I got to spend a summer working in the mill (did it for him).

How long does it take you to trim all of your Lavender plants?

Thanks for this video, we live in a freezing climate in the winter as well. Do you also prune in the spring? Over the winter, the entire lavender plant turns gray, so it’s hard to tell where the new growth will come from for pruning.

Very interesting. My plants are 12 years old and huge. We got a ton of rain 🌧️ n Ca.last year. In the past I've taken a dremel blade and reduced the inner branches that are most .50 to 1 inch in diameter. Been lucky so far. I trim half a plant at a time, let it grow in, then trim the other half so the bees dont feel cheated. Now the plants are clogged with growth .again. Each bush is about 4-5 ft in diameter and we are set for record rain this winter, so the thinning process will have to be done. Fingers crossed. I know cutting into the wood normally kills lavender, but somehow ive gotten away with removing some major inside branches with the dremel rotating saw attachment. I think pruning half a plant at a time saved them....

Thank you been scared to get into it like thst

Most viewers don't have a gadget like yours. I would like to see how you hand trim it so I can do that for my plant.

Very interesting, Thanks for uploading...

Thank you

this is how paradise would look like

Although it was very nicely presented, I'm sorry to say that I didn't really get the message. The problem with older lavender is that it gets leggy with no foliage at the lower ends of the branches. The pruning shown did not deal with this, in fact it showed the opposite. Instead of cutting the leafless parts of the branches right down to an inch or two long, it left all those leggy branches in place and concentrated on the top ends. I could not see the benefits of the pruning shown except for thinning the bush and even that was not very effective.

I bought a potted lavender plant. I live in a colder climate and the flowers eventually died. The plant foliage looks great and is established. I wanted to see the blooms. What do I do with it at this point? Thank You in advance.

I haven'tgot any lavender plants yet but got some seeds coming and 2 of them are hidcote and munstead I believe, and there's another with is the normal lavender I guess... It's currently winter for us so I'm assuming for those 2 I named won't be ready until spring to start getting them to grow...

Wish I had seen these videos a couple of years ago before I butchered my plants! They did survive and bloom again, but now I know how to do it correctly! Thanks! =D=

Thank you for that - I did not know this so I am going out now to give them more "air" and light !!!

This video wasn't very helpful. I could not see exactly where you were cutting.

What do we do with the woody base?

I like them to look more straight up and pointy not round and bushy

Thank you💜

Hi, you mentioned putting cuttings into the compost, does it go well in the compost?

Nice, some harder pruning for some of the branches along the ground. Really tides them up.

What a pity you did not show what you were cutting, instead of yourself. I am really trying to work out how to prune my lavender which has in 18 months made thick wood stems.

Hi, how do you use the Spanish lavender? Are they edible? Or do you use them for oil? Or you only use English lavender?

Thank you! I’m interested in making some cuttings. Would you make another how to segment on this? 💜🌿

Wow so cool that you guys are in Maine! I'm in Mass but have been looking for people that grow lavender up in this cold climate! My Mother loves lavender and I've been wanting to grow her a solid grouping of them (10-20). However some plants seem to not be bothered by the winters at all where as others completely die! They were all planted before I knew much about gardening so I'm unsure of the variety. What varieties do you grow? Also do you ever sell plants, cuttings or seeds? I would be willing to pay a little extra for climatized plants like yours!

How did it turn out? I live down the road off RT 2 in pittsfield.

What type of fabric are you using to cover them and where would I find such a fabric?

can you please write me or reply where you get the winter fabric?

what is the name of your winter cover material and where do you get it

The thing is, where I live, 56°N in Scotland, the bees are still on my Lavender. Due to weeks of heavy rainfall, most of the other flowers in my garden are gone. There's still butterflies feeding too.

Can I use grass clippings

thanks

Thanks for the video. What zone are you in? Some info online says not to prune in fall and leave open cuts exposed to harsh winter conditions. Unsure what info to go by.

So glad I ran across your video. I have 4 large lavender plants and the flowers and branches are ready to trim. I have been pruning them every year. For the first time in 7 years, I did NOT prune back my plants this past spring and they greened up and put out gorgeous blossoms anyway. I didn't know they could do that...was shocked. The benefit was that the plants stayed large. Now that they're even larger with this summer's growth and I have limited garden space, I need to cut them this time. Looks like what you just showed us is far easier than using loppers. I'm a Ryobi fan and have a few of their tools/mower. Because of your video, I bought a hedge trimmer like yours I just got yesterday. I'm about to go out and do what you just showed us, so wish me luck! I've never used one before. Thanks so much for your video...most helpful one I've watched so far and I've watched many over the years!

Thank you for this video!!

Hello:) I was asking myself if i needed to add hoops under the fabric to hold everything up, but this great video answered the question. I’ll be wintering my first rows (about 300 plants) this winter up in Quebec and I’ve ordered the Dewitt 2.5 oz fabric since Agribon was out of stock mostly everywhere. Wish me luck and thank you for this video:)

Great video. Can you adjust your camera to the side you’re trimming next time? I’m a visual learner 🥴🥹🤗

It was fun to find your channel. My mother's surname was Moore and my father's was Manor. So it was especially fun.

Thank you! This was super helpful.

Very nice job! Thanks for explaining it so well. Easy to watch and understand. Thanks again…

This video was very helpful. Thank you. Can I Do this now at the end of October? Zone 6a.

Is it too late to do this after the first frost?

Very helpful. Thanks, Doug!

Thanks. I appreciate the simple explanation. I have a very old container lavender that I’ve kept going. The woody base is now looking like an old bonsai tree but in the container it’s cool looking. I got some nice flowers out of it but didn’t harvest as some tomato plants I was growing near it kind of took over like a tomato jungle. I need to prune this coming week and was hoping for a nice simple explanation. I’ve always just known to cut a few inches above the wood but on mine bc it’s a shaped plant it’s tricky to keep it even in the container. Would love to see how to simply root the lavender and keep it going through winter if I can get some tips going. I have rooting hormone but woody things I’ve tried rooting in water usually rots. Any tips to keep it from rotting?

Super helpful! I'm trying to learn to be more aggressive with my pruning now that I've seen the good it can do, and this is a nice guide.

Could I store my potted lavender plants in a dark shed all winter instead of covering them. Zone 4b.

Please inform which fabric u r using to cover the lavander plants in winter and for how many months, I am from india Jammu and Kashmir, Sonamarg where the winter snow is accumulated more than six feet from November to March. Please advise me.
