pruning advice
« on: March 26, 2010, 13:47 »
Hello all,

I have some shrubs and one tree in my front garden and as I am new to the plant world I have no idea what they are! A couple of them are obviously evergreen and the others are not. I want to prune them and have read up on the basics of pruning, However, because I don't know what they are, I can't prune them according to the different plant needs. I have tried to identify them but as they are bare it is proving quite difficult! Do you think that I should just lightly prune them all or can anyone recommend a good website that helps to identify shrubs and plants? Or perhaps if I posted some pictures up on here some of you may be able to help?

take some pics and post them on here - between us all, we'll identify them for you!
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

My brilliant OH is going to reduce the file sizes for me so I can get them all on one post...or two!

my photo files have been reduced but I will still have to post them one at a time. Any ideas on what these plants are would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
