Every day, a little more knowledge! That's what is great about gardening.... there's always something to learn and share!

As you know, they regrow well from trimming, so if it was my plant I would probably prune back the displaced branches and let it regenerate naturally again.

@@OverdevestNurseries ok great, that I will do! 🥰

Great. Perhaps, once you've been inspired by your success, you'll consider investing in some of the other selections 😉👍💚

As always, you are very welcome. It is always reassuring to know that we are moving in the right directions. Interesting point about Candy Corn. Haven't seen or heard that before, but it is amazing how animals will often pick out one type and seem to continually go for that. Lets see, if anyone else is noticing a similar preference in their areas.

Candy Corn is my favorite! What an explosion of color all season long!

Thanks for sharing this. Spiraeas and very reliable and resilient, and as you've discovered, they respond well to trimming too. So removing old spent flower heads, tired or diseased foliage is a good way to rejuvenate them and keep them bushy and colorful too. Plus obviously, removing the diseased foliage helps to reduce the opportunity for the disease spores to spread or re-infect too. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Ha ha! But, it has to be said..... that with the rewards we get from being out in the garden (surrounded by nature, growing and seeing all these beautiful things), I feel like I am winning the lottery EVERY day😁💚👍👏

Very very true David, I was planting black bamboo with my young nephew yesterday, then when we were done & tidied up, we sat in the garden at the fire - him toasting marshmallows & I having a beer & said to him isn't this great, the simple things in life, he was a happy little man 👌❤️

Thanks for your kind comments, its nice to hear from you. As you've probably noticed, this video was filmed in early spring just as the buds were breaking but with robust growers with attractive foliage (like these) that doesn't matter much because in our nursery we trim them all the time at different times during the growing season. That's why when you view these other videos (also on this channel): studio.kzfaq.info/love/gfi7rt7jLrh4Hg01wKScdwvideos you will see tight, shapely, manicured plants that are bushy and very attractive when all the little shoots grow back out. The only time you wouldn't trim them, would be when the shoots are starting to make flower buds. So, in your case maybe, you would consider letting them grow out and flower and then trim off the old spent flower stems. That way you will get the benefits of seeing the flowers, and then be able to re-shape and invigorate your plants and then enjoy another round of flowering, once the new shoots grow out AGAIN! As you might notice in these (in nursery) videos, we trim them multiple time during the year, so you could if you wish do the same. We hope this helps. Finally, have you subscribed to our channel?

We use just a standard slow release well balanced fertilizer that is available at most of our partnering garden centers: To preserve our independence from corporations we decline to mention specific brands but your nearest centers will most likely be happy to share which brand they recommend for your area.

Yes you can prune them (at almost any time of year). And, when the new growth develops, you can expect to get a new round of flowering too. Once established, spiraeas are fairly drought tolerant, but to get the best from them, it is good to water (deeply) during any prolonged summer dry periods and put down a layer of mulch too.

They are so hardy and reliable that they can be pruned to different degrees at almost any time of year. That said, we know David has found out over the years that this method works best in this region (Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA) for the ones that flower from early summer onwards. Like he mentions near the start of the video just make sure that your plants are summer flowering and not spring flowering, because obviously, if you were to prune them in Fall or early spring, you would be cutting off flower buds ☹️ With these types, you wait until they finish flowering, and then that's when you would do the pruning!

We checked but we can't tell you because there's no brand visible! They are professional ones that we have been using in the nursery for years.

@@OverdevestNurseries too bad, thanks. They look serious, why I asked.

That's strange, normally they are very resilient and respond well to trimming. In fact, David adds that he's seen old tired plants (that needed rejuvenation), cut right back to ground level and still they came back well. So, there has to be another underlying reason why this is happening, we suggest applying good 2" deep layer of mulch and watering well druing any dry summer periods and maybe a light dressing of a well-balanced slow release fertilizer next spring. That should pull them around. Have you subscribed to our channel?
