Burning bush rejuvenation

Question

I just cut back my burning bush for rejuvenation about 3 in from ground. Looks like the temps will fall to the upper 20 a few night this week. Question is. Do i need to cover the stump protect from possible freeze and or frost? Thanks

Answer 1

What you are relying on is the plant's roots. Unless there are new foliage/stems emerging, you don't need to cover the stooled shrub.
