Planting
Pruning deciduous bush can be divide into 4 groups : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only dead , diseased , damaged , or cross branches , can be done in early spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , new growth which produces summer flush - in other words , blossom appear on new wood);summer lop after flower(after anthesis , shorten back shoots , and take out some of the old growth , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers appear on wood from former class . Cut back flowered stems by 1/2 , to potent growing new shoots and remove 1/2 of the flower halt a couple of inches from the footing ) Always remove drained , damaged or morbid wood first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
Examples : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . Spring : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . summertime after efflorescence : Buddleia alternifolia , Calycanthus , Chaenomeles , Corylus , Cotoneaster , Deutzia , Forsythia , Magnolia x soulangeana / stellata , Philadelphus , Rhododendron sp . , Ribes , Spirea x arguta / prunifolia / thunbergii , Syringa , Weigela . Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the bush was in the container . If land is poor , dig hole even broad and fill with a mixture half original grease and one-half compost or soil amendment .
cautiously take away shrub from container and lightly freestanding roots . Position in core of mess , best side facing forward . Fill in with original grease or an amended miscellanea if needed as described above . For big shrub , construct a urine well . Finish by mulch and watering well .
If the plant is balled - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural gunny , tucking it down into kettle of fish , after you ’ve positioned bush . check that that all gunny is buried so that it wo n’t wick water away from rootball during hot , juiceless point . If synthetical gunny , remove if possible . If not potential , cut away or make pussy to allow for roots to develop into the newfangled soil . For larger shrubs , build a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If shrub is desolate - root , look for a discoloration somewhere near the foundation ; this target is likely where the stain line was . If soil is too sandlike or too clayey , add organic matter . This will assist with both drain and water holding capacity . Fill soil , firming just enough to support bush . Finish by mulching and water well .
