Sorry for the bother.

I have put together a website on pruning. before I link it to the
dictionary I was hoping someone could review this for me. I am still
working on the section on branches and cracks. I will be getting some
pictures of cracks to add. I would really appreciate this. Any feed back
is welcome.

the web can be found at:http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT20...ing/index.html

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

I have two Prunus Lusitanica (Portuguese Cherry Laurel) growing way too
happily. After six years they are too tall for their location. Since
these big bushes branch off a central trunk, I'm reluctant to top them,
lest it distort the plant in some unattractive way.


How are these bushes properly pruned?- Hide quoted text -

I have only quickly perused your site, Mr. Keslick, but it looks good,
reads well, and rock on to you for caring enough to make the effort.
Hurrah for a tree man who thinks, and has consideration for trees.
Carry on!
