How do you prune a snowball bush?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, Once the shrubs reach the desired height you trim them to maintain there shape and size. Remember that you are dealing with a slow growing shrub and if you get to aggresive with the trimming it will take some time for the shrub to heal if it can at all. I would trim them twice per year spring and fall and remove no more than 1"- 2" at a time.

In the spring do you cut down ornamental grasses?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, ornamental grasses should be cut or clipped to the ground in late winter/early spring, just before they begin putting on their new growth. Waiting until later to cut them will not inhibit their new growth. Cutting back old growth will clip the new growth leaving straight edges on the new growth blades.
They can be pruned back in fall, too. Waiting for late winter/early spring allows the birds and other wildlife to eat the seeds from the plumes and ornamental grasses are attractive garden plants for winter interest.
Can you grow daphne in a flower pot versus the ground?
Asked by Wiki User
You can, but it will be very important to find some way to keep the pot cool. Daphne require a cool root run, which is sometimes hard to manage with containers. Try placing other pots closely around the pot the Daphne is growing in, so that they keep the pot shaded. Also, be sure that your pot has superb drainage - porous potting soil, lots of drainage holes, raised off the ground by something that allows water to run through freely. Daphnes die quickly of root rot if their soil isn't exceptionally well-drained.

What is the best way to trim toenails?
Asked by Wiki User
Nail clippers is the best way to shorten a toenail. Nail files work as well.
If you mean to remove an ENTIRE toenail, this should not be done under any circumstances unless there is an infection beneath the nail, or any other medical problems. If this is the case, then contact a doctor. You may need surgery.
DO NOT try to remove the nail yourself. This is very dangerous, not to mention painful.
Consult a doctor, surgeon, or any other medical assistant for help with this. Best of luck.

When do you prune a viburnum?
Asked by Wiki User
Heading, pinching and trimming describe how to prune mohawk viburnum. The deciduous shrub in question (Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Mohawk') likes pinching off new shoots along branch sides, if the arborist, gardener, naturalist or steward seeks a certain type of growth habit. It survives heading back to a healthy branch in the case of a dangerous, dead or diseased limb; removing basal suckers; thinning interiors for improved air and light circulation; and trimming wilted flowers, as long as healthy budded areas are not damaged or destroyed.
