This week we cover the process of extensive pruning and reshaping of a large overgrown shrub. We are working on a sizeable Portuguese laurel that has not been pruned in two years and explain the process of bringing this bush back into shape step by step. Moreover, we give you a lot of useful general tips and tricks for pruning shrubs. Additionally we explain in detail the ladder we use in our Japanese garden and why we find it so functional.

Very interesting. The ladder looks good. Thanks for explaining why it is so useful. I often have trouble pruning large shrubs because they spring back so quickly and become even bigger and bushier than before. For example, I have a viburnum tinus shrub that is around 12 feet tall and we keep cutting it back to around 8 feet tall so it won't overpower our orange trees. However the viburnum shoots straight back up (and sideways) again. It is about to flower (autumn where I live in Melbourne Australia) so I will let it flower so that the bees can enjoy the flowers then I will chop it back to 8 feet again. But I am getting so tired of doing this. I have heard it is best to only plant shrubs that cannot grow past their allotted (planned) space in the garden. I keep planting ones that do not fit. For example I have an osmanthus fragrans shrub that is now crowding out a euonymus alatus shrub and the suonymus is leaning into a crepe myrtle (large shrub or small tree). So I just keep pruning!
