Ask the Garden Experts!

Ask a Question Today!

Q:   Help!  Some young volunteers helping with lawn work in front of our ministry center "pruned" our beautiful 20-foot crepe myrtles down to about 4 feet each.  I am heartsick.  Rather than clipping off the tops, the young men sawed through boughs 4 to 5 inches thick, split some boughs and peeled the bark off many.  (Word to the wise:  NEVER assume someone knows what they are doing just because they say they have done it before.)

Q: Can you tell me how to prune a lemon bush/tree?  I'm not sure what to cut off?
