    A different way to prune. I love it. I have two large bushes that I can rejuvenate to create an umbrella.

    😂 the timing of this video is perfect. Our friendly neighbourhood rabbits did this work for me last winter 😳. Was wondering what I was going to do as all its growth is up top. If ya can't beat 'em join 'em. 😊.

    I've been working on mine for a few years now. The previous owners let it get way out of control, it was lovely but way out of control. I'm trying to get it back to a rounded bush shape about 4-5ft tall to make it easier to maintain 😊😊

    It looks good, I have done it with my Rose of Sharon but never thought about doing this technique with burning bush, also I had never heard the term apical dominance, I had to look up the definition. I appreciate learning so much from your channel!

    It’s an aggressive invasive species, so my pruning recommendation is cut it flush to the ground and apply a concentrated herbicide (glyphosate or triclopyr) to the stump.

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek  Рік тому

      Yes it can be invasive. I personally take care to pull out any saplings that sprout up. But if someone wants to just kill the plant and remove it your recommendation to apply a herbicide is good. Thanks for commenting.

    I watched Linda Later YT for her topiary that I have on my decks and porch. I have 2 burning bushes, would of never though of doing the trimming at all for them. That would be a good deal I think. Is it to late to do it in a zone 6a-b? Just love the color of the leaves and the birds like the berries to eat. Stay Safe till the next time.

    • @HorticultureGeek

    @boysrus61 11 місяців тому

    I just put in 4 burning bushes. They are only about 2 feet tall. When do you think is too early to start trimming into a tree form? I really like the way yours ruined out and I also think that cutting those two side branches gave it better balance.

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek  11 місяців тому +1

      I would let them get some size and get well established into their spot first. You need to allow for several branches in the structure of the shrub to beef up enough to become your main stems. You can selectively prune out stuff anytime but I would wait at least a year so you can get a true sense of what to have to work with.

    Do you have to keep pruning to maintain tree form?

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek  Рік тому +1

      I only have to do minimal clean up each spring to remove little branches that have sprung up. It doesn’t require much work at all. This year it took me maybe 3 min to pop anything unwanted off.

    Can you show me how to propagate burning bush

    • @HorticultureGeek
      @HorticultureGeek  Рік тому

      I can certainly do a video on that but it is a spring project because you need new growth to propagate. Also before you plant or propagate burning bush make sure it is legal in your area. It can be invasive so some places have banned it.
