Q.Can I Wrap The Trunk Of Bottle Brush To Prevent Regrowth Of Limbs?

Zone Phoenix AZ | Anonymous added on December 2, 2021 | Answered

I love the look of a neatly manicured bottle brush, but am no longer able to get down on the ground to clip off the regrowth. Can the trunk be wrapped or coated with something to prevent regrowth? I have tried the black tar product but it didn’t work. The bottle brush are very healthy. The pictures were taken at night with a flash.

Usually, plants that are pruned in a tree form eventually require little pruning to maintain the shape. It takes about 3 to 4 years. Wrapping wouldn't look very good nor would it be advised.
