Q.cutting back indian hawthorne
i need to know when and how to cut back an overgrown small variety indian hawthorne. they are set as individual plants in a bed.the service that was taking care of them let them get so large that the overhung the sidewalk and then they made a straight flat cut on the sidewalk side. looks terrible. I’m tasked with getting them back under control. can you do a drastic cutback and if so, when? Thank you, Johnny Minninger
This can be done. There are a few things to know before you do this, though. It is best to prune them IMMEDIATELY after they flower, as waiting too long will mean cutting next years flowers off.
