Hi to all from Co Kerry in Ireland. I have two large Lavateras that are
looking a bit sickly after I hacked away a portion that was scratching
against our cars as we drove up the drive. I'm a novice gardener and
am still learning about what gets pruned and when. This partial
amputation was done in October last year and there are no signs of
recovery. Now I have learned I should have pruned it down to the
ground in January!
Here's my question. Am I too late to prune it in mid-March and, if yes,
how far should I go, and if no, what can I do to resuscitate the poor
thing. OK so that was actually 3 questions. Desperation!
Thanks for any advice
