Euonymous care? ? ?
I have a row of fully mature euonymous bushes, and this year they were
almost uprooted under the weight of a heavy snow. They seem to be quite alive and can be uprighted, but I think I need to trim back severely. What is the best height for an entirely new start? Three feet from the root? Any advice welcome. |

Euonymous care? ? ?
This isn't quite the same, but I transplanted a huge overgrown E. bush 3
years ago and it is still in recovery. Of course this meant cutting the taproot, so I'm sure this is the main issue, but I also had to cut it back severely. Perhaps right them, stake them, and then prune *a bit* and see how they do. Of course prune out dead wood and crossing branches, etc., but I'd give it more of a *wait & see* approach at first.

Ray,
Very unusual to hear of mature euonymous with your problem. Before cutting back branches and once snow has cleared, try 'rocking' the shrub while simultaneously watching the trunk base, you may need a strong friend to do this. Look out for signs that roots are loose as a result of growing in circles. If so, and I hope you don't find this problem, you will need to do more than prune the branches. -- Regards Mike Gilmore WinsfordWalledGarden, SW England, USDA Zone9a "Betsy" -0 wrote in message ...
