Horticultural aide memoire

Those shrubs that are appreciated for the colour of their, now begin to unfurl leaves from those bare canes. If we wish them to shine brightly next winter, they should now be pruned. This is a simple and satisfying operation, as all that's needed is to cut the stems to the ground with secateurs. This results in a general sense of shock and awe, but in no time the new shoots will be back up to full height and you can anticipate another glorious show in due course.
