Pruning shrubs for dramatic foliage
Duration: 01:49
Elders can be pruned hard in early spring to encourage vigorous new shoots with dramatic leaf size and colour. Prune last year’s growth to within a couple of buds of older wood. This technique can be used on many other shrubs including purple hazel and smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria).
