When to cut tree?
I have a new neighbor who knows nothing about gardening (I already caught
him adding armfulls of peony stems to the firepit, tubers and all! they now live at my house) and I've finally convinced him to hold off doing anything else until spring. One major thing that does needs to be done is the removal of a small maple tree that is growing up almost on top of and through a fantastic, old forsythia bush. I don't see how both can survive together for much longer and the forsythia bush is so fantastic that it would be a shame for an opportunistically rooted tree to kill it. When would be a good time to cut down the tree? Is there any reason to wait until spring or can it go now? Am I wrong in thinking that both of these cannot survive so close together? The forsythia hasn't been trimmed in years (maybe a decade+) and needs trimming back but the location of the tree is to the immediate south of the bush and probably shades the bush too much during the summer. Suggestions? Thx. |
