Pruning baby Brugmansia
Comments (5)Hi mark, this is one of mine last year. Removed all the growth from under the "y" to try and get more of a tree effect, but I'm not keen so will allow it to do its own thing this year. I would advise to take cuttings at the end of the the year and root them in water, just in case it doesn't overwinter. You can buy some great Brugs on ebay. They are poisonous so be careful with kids Kind regards Averil uk This post was edited by averil on Sun, May 4, 14 at 17:55...See MoreTall and Lanky. To prune or not to prune.

Comments (0)My fiddle leaf fig is too tall for our space. It grew a TON this past spring and when I got back from vacation last week, it has officially hitting the ceiling. It's growing out of every possible place it can, both larger trunks, the smaller one down below, even a tiny stem that's hasn't grown anything in 3 years. It breaks my heart a bit to trim back all these beautiful leaves but the branches are definitely too heavy. The branch on the right has been losing a lot of leaves as well, hence the big bald spot in leaves (Probably due to lack of water due to us being out of town a lot this summer). My question is can I cut it back now? In September? It grows year round really, it never seems to really go dormant. And how far back should I cut it back? Any tips would be much appreciated!...See MoreGreen Giant Thuja X Plicata, 2ft tall, second season, should I prune?
Comments (2)should I just leave them alone and grow natural? ==>>> imo.. yes .. a pic or two might help us see if there is apparently anything wrong ... i dont know if you watering protocol is sufficient..because it dont know your soil ... without the pic.. i am torn about whether you should reduce to one leader ... if you goal at planting was a sight block.. multiple leaders wouldnt necessarily be bad ... ken...See MoreTiffany, purpleinopp Z8b Opp, AL
