Pruning prunus
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? |

Pruning prunus
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 Sincerely, John A. Keslick, Jr. Arborist http://home.ccil.org/~treeman and www.treedictionary.com 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. "Rob" wrote in message . 11...

Hurrah for a tree man who thinks, and has consideration for trees. Carry on! |

Pruning prunus
Prunus is a sensitive tree as far as internal response to pruning. It is
what we call a C tree. See a C tree here http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT20...one/index.html "Rob" wrote in message . 11...
