Many grateful thanks from UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸 everyone but YOU says don’t cut in summer .. given me even greater confidence as beginner gargener

[LizOConnell]

Thanks for making this video! My little dogwoods that were planted just a couple years ago are HUGE and out of control this summer. Your video is so helpful. Will begin cutting back and down asap.

This was just what I needed, thank you

It’s amazing how much work is involved to keep up with a beautiful garden. It’s the most satisfying work of all when one sees the results after. Thank you!

Great, encouraging video showing how simple it is to prune shrubs like these. The various dogwood shrubs and trees have incredibly beautiful foliage, especially in the fall. Yours are lovely even now. I'm definitely looking for some to plant this autumn. 😊

I would buy some rootings from these and the Pinky Winky. I'm in love with your garden! 😍

Great video! Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Thank you! I didn't prune my red twig this spring. It definitely has gotten out of hand with all the rain we had this spring.

The benefits of cutting down to a leaf node is you can influence the direction of the new growth, same in your lavender pruning video you miss out on opportunity to enhance growth patterns .

My local nursery has some variegated ones that look amazing. I hope no one buys them before they go on sale.

Do you know the variety of your dogwoods? I want to do a 50 foot screening hedge and I’m looking at the baileys red dogwood. Do you have a variety of yellow that would mix in? How far apart would you plant them to get a solid hedge like you have? I could do all red but the combination of both is stunning.

Laura, I really enjoy your channel! Thank you so much for all the tips. I also live in South Jersey (Manahawkin/Stafford) and your garden gives me much ambition lol. I have to ask, did your beautiful Limelight hydrangea tree always start as a tree or did you shape and train it into one? I am brand new to panicle hydrangeas and. Have several that are now unfortunately flopping over for what I imagine has been from heavy rain the past couple days. But I am unsure if they will perk back up to their beautiful healthy state or maybe I should tie them up with some bamboo posts? I'd truly appreciate your thoughts. Mine are about 6ft tall and are bushes not shape into trees.

Why do they say you shouldn't prune red twig in the summer are they susceptible to the dogwood borer like the flowering and Kousa are ?
