My blushingpink Knockouts are leafing out nicely. Tomorrow should help. My hedges--well, they're blobular. Going to look like h@ll for several weeks until new growth. But, I know to maintain them I have to remove about a thousand pounds of growth per summer and this is the way I feel like doing it this year. I thinned out my Bridal wreath SSpirea nicely tho. My old crabapple-I just scratch my head. I don't think an amateur can really figure out a big full grown never shaped thing like crabapple. other than taking out suckers, rubbing branches, dead ones.
