Yes, you can cut it. When a Yucca is cut off, it will generally form a new growth at the cut point, and sometimes more than one, resulting in a "fork," or branching. Also, very interestingly, if you strip the blades from the lower 12 inches, or so, of the cut off piece, and allow to air dry a few days to allow the cut or torn spots to "heal," or scab over, and THEN plant that cut off piece, it will take root, and you'll have another plant. I have used this technique many times to multiply my Yucca plants. I have been told that if the planting is done before the cut/damaged edges have dried out/sealed, that bacteria in the soil will get into the plant and cause it to rot and die. However, I'm not sure this part is correct because many times when I have pruned of the tops, and then simply threw them onto one of my compost piles, without any special treatment or help they took root and grew!!!!! Also, if the part you cut off is very long, you can cut it into several pieces, and plant them, gaining several plants from the one cutting.

Make sure the roots have water while it is cold outside. Cover it when it is cold outside. Cut it down to the green parts when all chance of frost is gone. They are pretty hardy.

I have honeysuckle growing over the entrance to an old cellar, and it grows rapidly every year. After it blooms, I cut it back to the desired point and it grows back every year. I use electric hedge trimmers. I am not sure what you mean about bushes. Mine are more of a vine, but are a rather old and large group that resembles a bush.

Blight is a fungal infection that can look similar to some other symptoms, check for small black fruiting bodies on the recently killed leaves and stems.

When dry you can prune the infected growth back about 2inches into live wood, being careful to sterilize your clippers after each cut and destroying all the cuttings.

There are fungicides that can be used but some are restricted use and they may not be available for use in your area.

The blight is encouraged by poor ventilation, high moisture content or existing plant wounds.

You can water plants after a freeze, but it is much more important to make sure they are well-watered before the freeze. Most tissue damage occurs because of a lack of water inside the tissues, which then lose the heat energy from inside the cells (and the cells rupture when they freeze).

You may give them a flat rate to trim the bushes or charge them by the hour what ever works out for the two of you, I do not think it is fair to give you a set price I do not know if you have ever even trimmed a tree or plant or bush, and then you have to clean the mess up that you make also do you have the tools to do the entire job or will they be supplied. How many bushes are their what size are the bushes do you think it will take an hour or days.

one large bush .. he told be to pay whatever I thought it was worth. I need a guideline.

If you need to ask this question you should not be allowed near a bush.

Cut it back either late fall or winter, once it has died off for the year. Remove the dead portion of the grass prior to new growth appearing in the spring.

There are a few ways to trim round shrubs. If you want a formal look, use an electric trimmer. This will create straight edges. If you want your shrubs to look more textured, you should use clippers to open up space into the plant.

Spirea can be trimmed lightly or severely depending on what you are trying to accomplish. If you just want to clean up the spent flower blooms, just cut them off with pruners. Depending on your climate and when you do this, you may get additional blooms the same season.

If you want to control the size of the plant to keep it smaller, you can cut it down to any length you desire. This is best done in the early spring or late winter before new growth comes out. If you wait later, you will be risking losing that season's blooms. Spirea are very very durable and they will take most anything. I have sometimes cut it back from 4' to 1'. Shape it to mimic its natural shape, mounded. The general rule for pruning trees and shrubs is never remove more than a third of the plant. But spirea do not read the rule books and you can break this one!

As far as I know, the above applies to all types of spirea.
