Planting
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only dead , pathological , discredited , or crossed branch , can be done in former spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , young growth which grow summer blossom - in other Word , flowers appear on new wood);summer dress after flower(after blossoming , cut back shoot , and take out some of the old growth , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers appear on wood from previous year . Cut back flower stems by 1/2 , to hard growing new shoot and remove 1/2 of the flower stems a yoke of inch from the flat coat ) Always take dead , damaged or pathological wood first , no matter what eccentric of pruning you are doing .

If ground is poor , dig hole out even wide and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil amendment .
Carefully remove bush from container and gently separate radical . Position in center of fix , right side face onward . Fill in with original land or an amended potpourri if needed as identify above . For big shrubs , build a piss well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If the plant is balled - and - burlapped , remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap , tuck it down into hole , after you ’ve positioned shrub . Make certain that all gunny is buried so that it wo n’t wick piss away from rootball during red-hot , teetotal periods . If synthetic gunny , remove if possible . If not possible , cut forth or make cunt to allow for beginning to develop into the new grime . For larger bush , make a piddle well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If shrub is unfinished - tooth root , look for a discoloration somewhere near the base ; this soft touch is likely where the soil origin was . If soil is too arenaceous or too clayey , add together constitutive thing . This will help with both drain and piss belongings capacity . Fill soil , firm just enough to underpin shrub .
