Q.Pruning An Ocotillo

Zone Tucson | Anonymous added on October 18, 2023 | Answered

I have a rather tall, 8 to 10 foot, Ocotillo that has fallen over. Is there a way to save it and also, is there a way to prune it so it isn’t so tall?

You can secure the base of the plant with rocks, and you can reduce its size by trimming the wands. If you'd like, you can then set the wands in soil and grow new plants.
