I have three large bushes I need to either remove or trim back. Interestingly, these were 3 were small bushes in our yard when we bought the house a long time ago. For years they wouldnt grow much at all, seemed already at thier final height.
Moved them to where they are now and they all took off! Pretty sure we missed the opportunity to prune and cut back, esp for the evergreens in front (cant believe how large that got once moved to a different spot).
First: giant evergreen at corner of house. Not sure what it is. This thing remained at 2' x 3' for years. Moved to corner of house in front and took off. Every year thinkign I should find out if that can be pruned at all. Although it may have to go altogether because I have a downspout drainline I need to replace that is, you guessed it, right under it.
Second: An evergreen bush that also remained small until moved up against the house, then went crazy. Also probebaly missed our chances to prune back. We like this bush but it blocks the entire window now which is where I work and where we have many plants. Can a bush like this be drastically cut back at this point and rebound?
Thrisd: Arborvitae. Another remained about 8 ft for years, moved to front corner, now 25'. For this one, I have to replace that downspout drainline on that side of house also and afain, runs right under the Arborvitae. Im assuming it cant withstand dramatic root cutting, but figured I ask.
Thanks all!
