[QUOTE="witzend, post: 407040, member: 99"] Pruning is really pretty easy if you use just a few basic rules. Prune in late fall or in winter. President's Day is about the latest you can prune anything with a woody stem. The plant will be dormant and won't go into shock. NO PRUNING IN THE SUMMER! Prune no more than 1/3 of the existing plant. If you need to cut a bush or tree down to 1/2 it's size, it's going to take you at least two years. And of course, prune at a new bud or an existing joint at an angle that matches the bend. NEVER EVER prune straight across or in the middle of two shoots/branches. If your hubby can get these simple things down, you should have much less trouble with him. [/QUOTE]
