If it is just some of the older leaves this can be normal if it is all the leaves it is dead.

Take semi ripe cuttings mid or late summer, for nodule cutting, just below a node. Remove side shoots, nodule cuttings should be 3/4 inches long. Dip base into rooting hormone, insert into standard cutting compost, if more than one cutting, ensure leaves do not touch. Place in propagating case at 21C. Shade from sun. Once rooted apply liquid fertilizer every two weeks

Just about anytime but fall, when they would not have time to grow, and would look scalped until the following spring. The ideal time to trim non-flowering evergreens like cypress is at the end of winter.

infinitely many, because a square feet is a surface and a cubic feet a volume. since a surface has no volume you can fit infinitly many in a cubic feet.

The best time to trim a Burning Bush would be winter when it is lying dormant. But they are pretty heart and can with stand a trimming any time of year except for the hot summer months. Never trim more than 1/3 of the shrub at any time that there is folage present. This will harm the shrub and could kill it.

Taking care of a Laura Pendulum shrub is about the same as taking care of any other plant. Make sure the shrub gets plenty of water and sunlight. Trim the shrub regularly to keep it looking clean.

While kumquat trees enjoy a consistent supply of water, it is important not to over-water them, or their roots may rot. Ensuring that the tree has good drainage so that the roots are not sitting in water is essential. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but not wet, and a light amount of water should be used to mist the leaves occasionally.

When pruning cedars, cut off 8 to 12 inches of the leader. If possible, cut above a bud facing north. Cut the branches nearest the central leader a little shorter than the leader. Starr to create a pyramid shape. Leave enough needles on each branch or it will expose the interior of the tree. Work down the tree and leave plenty of new growth. Trim branches near the bottom of the trunk close to the trunk to allow access under the tree. Make the first cut several inches away from the tree trunk by cutting the underside of the branch with a pull-stroke handsaw. Only cut halfway through the branch. Align the saw blade with the cut that was just made. Cut from above to complete the cut. Repeat for the other lower branches on the tree.

They will grow in full sun but prefer slight shade.

Prune Escallonia in early Spring .

It depends where you live. In the UK they are cut for decoration in December with no problem. Te harder you cut them the longer they take to recover.

Painting the woody stems interferes with plant processes. Paint is applied as protection from any traveling bacteria, fungus, pest or virus whether or not there actually is an injury. The paint indeed keeps such pests out. But the price is interference with plant processes such as self-healing and respiration. Specifically in terms of respiration, the seal keeps things from getting into the woody, and from getting out. Specifically in terms of injury, woodies have four walls of defense. The seal of the paint prevents the progression through any or all of the stages, and interferes with the formation of a beneficial, natural, protective callous. Additionally, over time, the seal ends up cracking. For the woody and the seal expand and contract at different rates and times in response to weather extremes. Ultimately, the seal breaks and leaves the woody open to attack from environmental stresses and stressors. And the situation is compounded by the stresses that the seal is responsible during the time that it's intact.

As I understand it inkberry holly is Ilex glabra is a holly native to the NE United States. All hollies are evergreen and can be pruned when it suits you.

Laurel is so hardy that you can pretty much cut it at ANY time and it'll recover just fine.

The cost to get hedges trimmed will depend on the company used and the cost of labor. On average, it will be about $20 dollars an hour.

If you want the pine tree to become fatter, you must cut about the top third of the central leader off. Otherwise, you can trim the ends of the branches to shape. Be sure to trim any branch that crosses another branch.

April: Feed your Lilac Tree. Scatter a couple of handfuls of bonemeal around (but not touching) the base of the plant and cover with a mulch of well-rotted compost.

yes, (some bottom heat may be a help, as would rooting hormone. Failing that, 1 teaspoon honey dissolved in 1/3rd cup warm water, leave to cool, insert cutting for 5 mins then pot in a free draining mix). Good luck

Checking irrigation schedules, employing pest controls and pruning dead branches describe what to do with brown cedar branches. Location and pattern identifies the problem and its solution since one-sided and upper canopy browning speak of shallow roots in respective need of root rot-fighting fungicides and of drought-fighting supplementary irrigation. Horticultural oils against eggs and insecticidal soaps and miticides against adult spider mites and weevils resolve clumped bark- and branch-browning while pruning takes care of the scattered browning of old growth prefatory to replacement by new growth.
