Major pruning in progress

I haven't seen this part of the bottom fence in years but major pruning was needed to clear what had become a jungle!

Hi Annella, What a lovely array of colours and I bet you notice a lot more light after a 'good pruning". The area probably looks a lot bigger too!

It des look great. Next doors shrubs are doing the job by themselves there! What did you cut back to make the space?

Sometimes jobs like this have to be tackled! Everything grows at such a pace that suddenly you realise it needs attention! What a pretty area it is now.

Still a bit more to prune out down there but so far two large Solanums have been cut down to new shoots, a dead 7ft Photinia has gone and a Ribes that had become old and straggly got the chop. The same thing is happening all around the garden while I'm feeling ruthless!!

Go for it Annie...it will only make it all even better! :) Photinias are quite unreliable aren't they....did it die this winter? I think they must sometimes be dying of disease...not cold.

Hi Annie, it looks like you are giving a shape to that space. It will be lovely corner.

Thanks all, I'm looking forward to the long weekend out side. Karen I have never lost one before but think it was the long dry spell last summer. I never thought to water the shrubbery down there as It has been in for years. No sign of disease just dried out leaves and much too late to help when I noticed.

You have some lovely mature shrubs Anne;0)
