Your tools are clearly quite sharp while mine are not. Would you consider doing a video on tool sharpening? I think a lot of us would find that very helpful. Thanks! 💚
Jim, I would love a tool sharpening video also. Every time I have my pruners sharpened professionally, I am disappointed. Some pruners, such as Felco, have replacement parts and it would be great to know how to take them apart, lubricate, etc. Thank you for your wonderful videos which have given so many gardeners the confidence to tackle their landscape.
Love Love when super large shrubs get properly pruned up to look like small trees - you have taught us so much about pruning - thanks Jim and Steph for all you do for the gardening community♥
Timely video. Today I'm pruning all the shrubs/trees that were hit hard by the December arctic blast. A few things i was waiting on are showing no signs of life. We lost alot so time to plan out new plants for front yard.
That trenching shovel is like an extension of your arm. I love the size of it. Do you sharpen the end often? Do you have an Amazon link to this one? I know you’ve said you’ve had it for a long time.
I've ignored pruning some of my pink diamond hydrangeas now for 3-4 years, but it has created an opportunity to air layer the largest, well-branched, upright trunks and have some automatic tree-formed paniculatas by later this summer. I'll just consider it another form of productive pruning.
I was scared of pruning my shrubs for years and had some loropetalum get completely out of hand. I started tree forming them last year and now they're 12ft tall and have never looked better!
I know this video is not about Hellebores. But when you mentioned the hellebores under the Miss Kim Lilac, a bell (okay, an alarm) went off in my head. I have approx 16 hellebore plants (planted in 2 areas) and I'm struggling with the maintenance required. It's so easy to trim back and reveal new growth each year. That's the fun part. But the seeds? OMG! They never stop blooming and never stop dropping seeds. So many sprouts that I have to clean out each year! What are your thoughts on the new varieties that are sterile and have more upward facing blooms? Maybe you could mention this in Q&A or point me to another video if you've already addressed this in the past. I'm tempted to replace every single plant since these are working against my goal of creating a senior-citizen-friendly, low-maintenance garden. Thanks so much!!
I just limbed up my limelight hydrangeas that were beasts and taking up too much space in garden! Also did my snowball viburnum that I got from your nursery 5 years ago 😊 love these pruning videos thanks!
For such a small but well designed garden, id remove those 2 plants.....the sedum and salvia. Then you can replace them with something more easy to maintain. Even some ajuga, as a ground cover would do okay in a shadey spot under your windmill palm...the portwine is less hardy than the dark leaved ones...but theyre pretty when flowering. I plant clivias and bromeliads under my palms but its a hot, dry spot. Great seeing your sharp tools for gardening. Reminds me to sharpen my secateurs.😊 Jo.
Thank you for all that information very useful for me I live in England so our weather is a bit different from yours but still it’s good to know what can be pruned and what not.😊
Thank you! Your timing of these instructions is spot on! If I’d have known what Jacob Cline Bee Balm was going to do to the small bed in front of my porch, I would never have planted it there! Such a bully, but we LOVE the hummingbirds that are drawn to it, while we are sitting on our rockers! Lol! I pull a lot of it out every year!
Hi Jim. There’s nothing more satisfying then limbing up a shrub. I have a huge Abelia & Azalea shrub which I’ve tree formed & it’s beautiful. I’ve under planted with several shade loving perennials. My neighbor admire my garden. Your channel thought me to be a multi faceted gardener. TY!
Number one on my bully list is black eyed Susan. It's a Shame because they are so pretty. I spent last weekend digging them up. Will leave some, but try to remember to keep it in check.
Oh no! You’re pitching that salvia and here in NJ, it doesn’t winter over. Hummingbirds love it so I grow it every year as an annual in our master gardener educational garden. Another great instructional video.
Love this video! Maybe it's just me but I could watch a full video of you completely removing that Rhythm & Blues Salvia. It would be so satisfying watching it be completely removed, rhizomes and all.
So do you recommend thinning out Baptista the way you did with the centrum? I have never thinned it back once it comes up from the roots each spring, but it does not seem to get as tall as I would like. Maybe removing some stems would help. Thanks, love your videos- have learned so much!
I agree, 'Shasta' is great and does look nice tree-formed, but I'm partial to 'Summer Snowflake' for the long bloom period throughout summer and its narrower, upright habit.
I have 5 Vitex trees that needed prunning to maintain the tree form and 2 bridal wreath bushes. Oh, and the 9 roses. TX Gulf Coast- Spring prunning happened for us in February and March.
Hey there. Silly question. We just planted a golden falls redbud and it’s about 3-4 feet tall, and are a little confused about training it. It has a main limb coming up then it splits in two weeping branches at the very top. Do we need to train one of those weeping ones straight in order for it to become taller or will that main branch grow taller? If that makes any sense. @JimPutnam
We had to do some heavy pruning on 3 mature Camellia Sasanquas this year. They were covered in leaf gall - when we got in there they were all crossed over and there was so much dead in the center. They are all limbed up and cleaned out now so they can breathe. We may not get much in the way of flowers this year but we didn't get many last year either (moved in last summer). It was a pretty hard prune but I think they were overdue and are mature enough to handle it - will treat next year to hopefully protect from leaf gall and keep our fingers crossed.
I would love to see something about pruning a quince. As a multi stem shrub, I get the principle of opening the middle and removing crossings, but the center leafs out immediately and becomes an impenetrable mass.
I suppose that salvia kept the genetic mint has the makes it spread. For the Shasta I see them labeled 6-8ft and they blow past that in a heartbeat around here and I never really see them bloom well around here cause they out grow the space there put in so there trimmed a bunch. I mean I see them put on like 4-5ft in a season
Hi Jim and Stef Thank you for your content. Asking for my Aunt… she has old azalás that are tall and have no growth 12”-18”. from bottom. She wants to prune them hard but wondered if they would ever leaf back out on the lower growth. I haven’t seen them but I’m guessing they have allowed to get “second story” type bloom shrubs. Do not know type of Azalea but house is older and she is in her 70’s so it’s an old established azalea shrub. Zone 7b Chattanooga, TN area. In essence can it be rejuvenation pruned??
Super helpful. I too have a small urban space and seem to have an affinity for thugs and woody trees and shrubs that take up space. I have an anemone and black eyed susans looking at world domination. When I give them away I always suggest either a container or no where near a neighbors garden. I love the limbing up of Miss Kim. I have one that is still a relatively small shrub but will look to limb it up when it gets some height. Such a good overview of all the different ways to maintain some control. Thanks so much!
Your channel is great and today you answered two nagging questions I have been wondering about. I have a Chinese snowball viburnum that looks a lot like yours and have been wondering what to do with it so now I will tackle it the way you did yours. Thank you! I also have the crazy invasive blue salvia and it is taking over my tomatoes!! I don't know where it came from because I didn't plant it but have been reluctantly digging it up in places where it has spread! Now i don't feel so bad about eradicating it! Thanks so much for all the good information.
Great, helpful video! I have a bully ground over that I used to think was lovely but is now taking over! I think it is Lamium. All up in my ferns and hellebores! Slowly removing it but it’s a pain! Hindsight is 20/20!
So far I haven’t had to prune very much. Most of our garden is only a few years old. There’s an unruly crepe myrtle. The seedlings are insane. I probably tear out 400 seedlings a year from our flower bed. Now there’s black walnut seedlings everywhere and those are driving me nuts this year. They are everywhere. I cannot even find a black walnut tree anywhere near my house. So I’ve got no idea where they came from lol
I’m still watching some loropetulum ( sp?) they still look like tumbleweeds! Little growth and they did flower - I stopped our neighborhood landscapers( loose term!) from trimming before flowering- 5 new replacements may b in my future!
Ours too...they have buds and leafed out sporadically. They look awful..I may just do a rejuvenative pruning and it they don't come back I'm moving on and adding something different.
Can a sucker from a Kwanzan cherry tree be trained to become another tree? The primary tree was damaged by deer last winter. Thank you Jim for another informative video
I inherited a Chinese Snowball bush (viburnum) that's about 35-40 years old. It had almost stopped producing blooms and the few it had were small and looked terrible until I did a rejuvenation prune 2 years ago. It bloomed much better last year. It appears to have been grafted onto some other root stock because there was a 15 ft tree growing from the same roots. I cut down the tree at the same time I did the prune but I keep getting lots of suckering from the roots. What can I do to stop the suckers and keep the bush healthy?
I have two Encore azaleas that are rated hardy for my zone (6b lower Hudson Valley NY). They did have a bit of a bad start (user error on my part). They were planted in full sun two years ago. Neither looks particularly healthy. One has a few blooms on it. The other one has never bloomed. Should I try a fairly severe prune to try to rejuvenate or should I just replace them? Other azaleas (not Encores) on my property are thriving (karumes and natives) as are those in my neighborhood, even those that have been butchered into straight hedges. I know that you have made the point that the zone classification has limited utility and I agree that 6b can mean very different things. Thanks for all the helpful videos.
I have ??? I’m remaking a garden. Laying cardboard, layering compost mix, then new plants. When I plant new perennials or shrubs the hole I make is down to the cardboard. Should the bottom of the plant be against the cardboard? A day or two after doing this, my questioning troubles me. Zone 8 in Oregon.
I have creeping bellflower that’s weaved itself thru many of my other perennials and shrubs similar to your salvia. What’s the best way to remove it without killing everything else?
Do you think the Lemon Coral Sedum would be less vigorous than the green variety you have in my zone 8 garden? I like the sedum as a ground cover but would prefer it not to be too aggressive.
I’d like to achieve a “closed garden loop” when it comes to composting and mulching. Are you going to shred some of the larger limbs you removed or just cut them into slightly smaller pieces?
Question: I have three Gardenias that were hit badly by the December quick freeze. Two weeks ago I cut it back to where the green started. I’ve see no new growth but the tips still look green. Just give it more time? How long could it take? Give up? North AL, 7b Thanks for the videos!
Hello Jim. What is your variegated nandina's name? If you didn't say that it was variegated, I would have assumed that it was a simple dwarf heavenly firepower.
Quick question re that aggressive salvia: Is it spreading by the roots or the abundant seeding? (I may get it since the hummers live it but put in a big buried pot)
Bought lilac 3 years ago, plant was maybe 2 foot, now is over 4 and for the first time it now have few blooms, it have 3 main stems and last year it pushed 3 more, and this 3-4 new ones. Saw in this video you cut out all that new growth on soil level, I fell kinda sad to cut it out, am I doing it wrong? Would cutting those down growth out promote upright growth of main stems?
Why do people prune Viburnum to resemble a tree when it's a shrub? I've seen a number of people do this. Why not prune it so that it resembles a shrub (what it is)?
I’m gonna go tree form crazy too when my plants get big enough lol In my baby 2nd season garden … I got a hydrangea that’s looking promising … I got a lotta stuff to trim up still lol 🌸🌺🪴🌿🌳🤍💚🖤🍀🍀🍀
We just removed some sedum sections yesterday. It’s a tiny mat forming variety which basically crumbles then roots in again, so I’m not sure how successful we’ll be. Luckily it’s so shallow rooted and comes up easily because I imagine I’ll be doing this for the foreseeable future. 🫤
Your tools are clearly quite sharp while mine are not. Would you consider doing a video on tool sharpening? I think a lot of us would find that very helpful. Thanks! 💚
Great suggestion
Same here! I'm great at buying tools, but terrible at taking good care of them.
I love a limbed up shrub!
I’m looking for a tutorial on tool care.
Jim, I would love a tool sharpening video also. Every time I have my pruners sharpened professionally, I am disappointed. Some pruners, such as Felco, have replacement parts and it would be great to know how to take them apart, lubricate, etc. Thank you for your wonderful videos which have given so many gardeners the confidence to tackle their landscape.
One vote for a video specific to pruning the Chinese snowball to tree form. I find the branching habit challenging for tree forming.
Oh that look of surprise and approval on the first cut of the viburnum...priceless. Save that look for special clips!!! I'm still giggling.
Love Love when super large shrubs get properly pruned up to look like small trees - you have taught us so much about pruning - thanks Jim and Steph for all you do for the gardening community♥
Can a sucker from a Kwanzaa cherry tree be trained to become a similar tree?
Jim is the funniest Gardener on UA-cam.
Glad you feeling better
Naturally funny and doesn't mean it.
Thank you Jim and Stephany, I could watch you prune all day long. I guess I’m a visual learner. 🌷💚🙃
such a satisfying video! ✂️ that viburnum looks so good now that you “lifted” it up. love it!
Good morning Jim and Stephanie! Q? How do you sharpen your tools?
Timely video. Today I'm pruning all the shrubs/trees that were hit hard by the December arctic blast. A few things i was waiting on are showing no signs of life. We lost alot so time to plan out new plants for front yard.
I see a lot of improvement on the viburnum. Pruning helps plants look better and grow nicely. Thanks for the video.

Excellent and timely tutorial on pruning. Thanks for posting!
Good Morning All…azalea cleanup for me today
Very valuable information. Thank you!!
Can you limb up any shrub to make it into a tree form? 🌷💚🙃 I like the idea of having smallish trees all over my garden.🌷💚🙃

Southern living lists rhythm and blues as bodacious and 3 feet tall and wide. Looks like the tag was close. 3 feet wide is a big plant.
Awesome video, learned a lot, thank you
Thank you for the advice on pruning. It was a huge help for me to see you deciding where to clip and how much. Great video!
Great job! Showed the different ways of pruning the shrubs which was very helpful.

Nice of you to think about your neighbors. I am the same I once pull a ground cover I started after finding out it will creep into their space
Might try that to be able to maintain the space under mine. I've been trying so long to get it to grow, I've never pruned it.
Awesome video Jim! Super helpful!

Even though I am in zone 6 I really enjoyed your video. I am planting more med to small bushes to fill in my perennial garden
Enjoying this vid while eating lunch! You're a plant sculptor! I keep hearing "tree-form". Is this similar to bonsai?
What is the name of the sedum that is so aggressive?❤
I love tree forming shrubs since I have a small garden too. Gives me room for more plants! Which sedum variety did you remove that was so aggressive?
I’d like to see hydrangea pruning, such as the Limelight.

Will your Sunshine Ligustrum come back? Great pruning advice.

Advice on pruning santolina? Great winter interest in zone 6b. Thanks.
The green or the gray?
i want that shovel !
I have ??? I’m remaking a garden. Laying cardboard, layering compost mix, then new plants. When I plant new perennials or shrubs the hole I make is down to the cardboard. Should the bottom of the plant be against the cardboard? A day or two after doing this, my questioning troubles me. Zone 8 in Oregon.
Nothing should be touching the plant where it meets the ground. Neither cardboard or mulch.

Do you think the Lemon Coral Sedum would be less vigorous than the green variety you have in my zone 8 garden? I like the sedum as a ground cover but would prefer it not to be too aggressive.
It’s aggressive in zone 6
I’d like to achieve a “closed garden loop” when it comes to composting and mulching. Are you going to shred some of the larger limbs you removed or just cut them into slightly smaller pieces?
Would the ground cover steal nutrients from the shrubs they are under?
Jim, i have a 40 yr Stella magnolia, should I limb it up ? Has multiple trunks. Lots of low branches
Question: I have three Gardenias that were hit badly by the December quick freeze. Two weeks ago I cut it back to where the green started. I’ve see no new growth but the tips still look green.
Just give it more time? How long could it take?
Give up?

Thanks for the videos!
Hello Jim. What is your variegated nandina's name? If you didn't say that it was variegated, I would have assumed that it was a simple dwarf heavenly firepower.
Jim,
Are spring bulbs & tubers able to grow thru the aggressive sedum you took up?
Thank you. 😊
Quick question re that aggressive salvia:
Is it spreading by the roots or the abundant seeding? (I may get it since the hummers live it but put in a big buried pot)
It spreads underground! I have it and it is a bully! I have pulled up a lot!
Bought lilac 3 years ago, plant was maybe 2 foot, now is over 4 and for the first time it now have few blooms, it have 3 main stems and last year it pushed 3 more, and this 3-4 new ones. Saw in this video you cut out all that new growth on soil level, I fell kinda sad to cut it out, am I doing it wrong? Would cutting those down growth out promote upright growth of main stems?
Does anyone know the name of the sedum that was removed? Thanks in advance!
Weeds, weeds, and more weeds...oh, also grubs. Definitely, things I need to get after.
Hi, Jim! What's under the Encore Azalea?
I think it's the gold Hypericum
@@katiekane5247 thank you!
What is the sedum(ground cover) under the palm?: I need this badly…
What kind of sedum is that?. I need it in my life 😊
I have azaleas but I don’t know which kind. Is there a way to tell? Tks
