When you open this photo, you get the full scope of it. Very well done...

Thanks for sharing,

Maybe you can help me. My pride of madeira has become very leggy after 5 years. Can it be cut back or does it have to be replaced and what's the best time to do that? The bees love it so much I hate to cut off the flowers for even a short time but it's not looking as good as it might.

I used to cut mine back all the time... seemed to handle it fine. However, digging it up and moving it killed it (touchy roots I guess)

Thanks, I'll cut it back then. It's really big and I hate to lose it.
