What a difference the skirting made to the 'after' appearance of the shrub. I have my eye on a few peegee hydangrea shrubs that I planted several years ago and would like to begin to prune into more tree-like structures. I am planning to take my first pruning cuts this season so I will be using some of the techniques you demonstrated. .-= Debbie´s last blog ..<a href="http://gardenofpossibilities.com/2010/03/03/wordless-wednesday-5/" rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday</a> =-.

I love pruning. One of my favorite books, which taught me a lot as a beginner and I still refer to regularly, is Pruning and Training by Brickell and Joyce. It has general instructions as well as a plant encyclopedia which breaks down each genera and species and gives specifics for each. I really love your site, too, by the way - the photos are gorgeous. I've had a lot of success with those gorgeous Asarinas, except in gopher country. Thanks so much, Ann! I love pruning.

This is a great tutorial. Love it. Pruning skills are something I need to spend some time developing. Your zone makes me envious. Wish I had salvia leucantha to worry about pruning! Love it but it's hard to get out here in the northeast as an annual. Great information on your site. Will visit regularly. <abbr><em>Ann’s last blog post..<a href="http://northeastgardener.blogspot.com/2008/12/snowdrops.html" rel="nofollow">Snowdrops</a></abbr></em> Wow! This is a great tutorial.
