Can they be trimmed back in early March? I am basically in the same weather as Mississauga here in New York. If I can trim it now, can I try to root a cutting or two to try and grow another one?
Thanks
Tim

You're welcome! Yes, the pruning did a good job on regenerating the shrubs. The main thing is to prune in early spring.

I love the fact that you're in Ontario not far from me so I know your tips and tricks will help make my rose of sharon tree beautiful! Thanks for the video! :)

working on two more how-to-prune videos; one for rhododendrons and one for azaleas.
