Hi all.
I bet everyone was out in the yard this weekend. We've been cleaning out leaf debris, weeding (will they ever stop?!) and general spring clearing. What's the name of the bush that has beautiful clusters of red berries in the fall and triangular shaped leaves? They grow quite tall and are very common around here. I've called them Daphne but apparently that's not right. The main thing I need to know is how to trim them back. Mine has grown to 5' tall with leggy stems- not very attractive. Thanks for any info you can share. Jenny |

Hey,
I'm pretty sure you're describing Nandina or Heavenly Bamboo. It is quite nice and I have some growing up next to the lampost by my garage. It is simple to prune - just remove some of the oldest stems from the ground up. This site gives some good info: http://www.thegardenhelper.com/nandina.html Let's go HEELS!

Also... don't prune them where all the canes are the same height. prune
them at different heights. Makes for a nicer looking clump. "Raleighgirl" wrote in message . com... Hi all. I bet everyone was out in the yard this weekend.
