Thank you so much for all the detail in explaining how to prune a tree. I have a young American Lyndon tree and it definitely needs pruned but I was so scared to try it on my own. I noticed that it was starting to have buds appear and I wondered if I was too late to prune it this year but your video answered that question. I do have a question: at the bottom of the canopy on one side I have 3 branches growing out of the trunk really close together. Do I try to remove 2 and leave one or remove all three? Any advice from anyone would be great!

(Deb Gatz) Hi Laura and Aaron! I came across your posts this past March and have learned a LOT. You are now a permanent fixture in my watchlist. (Welcome to the world, precious Samantha Grace) About the pruning episode, I had heard that its better to prune a lilac bush right after it is done blooming. Is it helpful to the tree to wait until then or is it more helpful to prune during dormancy? We live in zone 6a/6b. Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm so glad you did this more in depth video! Do these pruning rules go for all types of fruit trees? I have 2 young 2yr old cherry trees (semi- dwarf Lapin and Ranier) that have all branches pointing upward. They have little buds everywhere on them, but No offshooting side branches. How do I prune to get these upward branches to start growing some outward pointing branches? I know it'll produce more fruit if the limbs are pointed outward rather than up.

This was such a timely video! I pruned a Korean pink dogwood this morning that I planted in honor of my mother in law a few years ago. Anyway, my question is this. I may have pruned too much Im not sure. So what should I watch for that would indicate stress? Or should I offer the poor little thing some fertilizer as a peace offering now? I hope I didnt kill it

I bought hellebores from a warm indoor greenhouse and live in a 6b hardiness zone, what is the best way to acclimate them and gradually move them outside? I currently plan on keeping them indoors, waiting for them to finish flowering and then moving outside as it warms up - are they at risk of dying from lack of winter rest?

I just love the Dr Seuss tree against the fence to the right of the multi trunk tree. How fun is that! Is it a weeping Alaskan Cedar? I am in Virginia and tried to get this look for my garden last fall but the nurseries were in short supply due to the fires. So sad but maybe this year. Love your videos and your sweet family

I noticed your lovely fiddle leaf fig in your loungeroom when you put the arrangement of pear branches there. How do you get your fig to look so healthy and lush?
I live in a beautiful part of New South Wales, Australia, but I love watching your videos to see what is going on in your garden on the other side of the world!

This is great. You had a Japanese maple that had looked like the top wasnt growing this past summer -maybe by the gazebo? I had the same issue with a bloodgood Japanese maple last season too. Im wondering if you figured out what happened or if you will prune it to save it. I let mine sit to see what happens this year.

Congratulations to you and your family on the new arrival of Samantha Grace! Im a younger gardener and I love your videos and helpful tips! Question: Do you remove the branches going into the middle of the tree/trunk because its more aesthetically pleasing? Or is it because it aids in the health of the tree?
