They should love your horse manure! Your whole garden will.

If yours is a bush form, you may want to cut a sucker off near the roots to root to make a standard. Or trim off all but one straight shoot where it is located now to control the size. I have a small yard and the lollipop form really helps brugs not take up my whole yard. If I let it form a bush I am in trouble. Brugs get huge if left undisturbed in the ground in warmer areas.

Here is a thread on how to make a standard brug. Fast and easy especially in spring. Hey I can see spring is on its way now...............

Here is a new standard in my courtyard. You can see how by just keeping 1 trunk it stands over my other plantings but not taking over! I also get to underplant which is great to have room for more plants.
