Default Pruning Red Twig Dogwood


Hi Joseph

Take out crossed and rubbing branches. Diseased and dead wood and thin it
out. Make all your cuts flush to a branch leaving no stubs which impede
healing over.

Is it a good idea to cut this thing back to a few inches after it has
had several years without any trimming?

What is the proper method of annual trimming and what is the proper
method to handle an older overgrown plant?
