Question

ick, Is that normal? Hi! My burning Bush was about 6-7 feet high and unhealthy so I cut it all the way back to about 2 ft. But the branches are very thick, I’ve seen pics of others cut back and theirs look thinner and more branches. Is mine ok or should I remove it? Thank you

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through.

If you have pruned it to have only one or a few main trunks, then it will be normal. It will still benefit from the rejuvenation pruning.
