hi mike i have a flowering hebe its getting a bit leggy but its flowering (white flowers) is it safe to prune it now im in scotland (June) can i hard prune it or best to just trim it back a bit there is also another one next to it but its tiny so id like it to catch up so they are both the same size or would you wait

That’s really fascinating.

Congratulations Mike and team great garden. And congratulations Mike on lifetime achievement award I can’t think of a more deserving person you’re an inspiration.

Hooray Carleen 🥳 Hard work paid off, great display!

Thats an amazing achievement! With so few of you! I came up to see it yesterday, loved what you came up with! Should be over to help with another garden's breakdown on Monday, maybe see you then! Xx

Great achievement for a well deserved, very hard worked team from Derby College, Broomfield Hall leadered by yet another year by Mike Baldwin. You All have achieved a mature perminant looking display which has been achieved by Your conscientious detailed time consuming effort. Well deserved Life time achievement for Mike Baldwin as He has poured His Heart and Mind into His work for many years and for many others counting His Cause, Pupils and Public way beyond Himself. The Life time achievement is for now, but knowing Mike, there us much more to come.......................................................................................................................................................................

What a fabulous achievement! 🎉

Looking good👍

Excellent video thank-you!

Thank you kind sir for this information!! I am truly grateful.☺

I have few of them in my garden , they have already bloomed, and im looking, is there a way how to take cuttings and root them or not , and when will be the best time to do that , if so . Thanks

Aw my little (big) friend Daniel! Looks good Mike!

That’s really handy, thank you, just the video I was looking for

Hi thank you for this informative video. I just bought a small plant and can't wait to plant it in my garden. By the way, I believe Chaenomeles is pronounced kee-NOH-muh-leez.

well done youre a natural teacher

I think the discrepancy was that you added three cm instead of subtracting 3 cm

Great information. Really appreciate your insight. Thank you.

When should the pruning take place?

How long has that mahonia been in the ground?

Really wish university would stop teaching 70 year old rudimentary techniques when we’ve had total stations for 40 years

Very interesting presentation. Having tried a small bit of walling I can appreciate the effort involved in some of the more irregular and, particularly, rounded shapes.

Thanks

I trimmed my bushes bact to 6 in above the ground in late winter 2023 It's spring 2024 in lower Michigan..my shrubs are just showing some spring buds..just coming out of Dormasy....I have 5 of these ..love them

what a terrible example. That Cornus is appallingly managed. Is that in an RHS garden?

Great video, thank you! How would you dig post holes in a woodlandy area with lots of tree roots?

Hello there, May I asked a question ? I’ve noticed youth started at the top of a slope, dose it matter if it’s the bottom of the slope, or the top, as I’m about to do the same job: thank you, fabulous job chaps.

Ok

Tailler le weigelia en hiver n'importe quoi ce jardinier. Normalement c'est après la floraison comme tout les arbustes à fleurs ou encore en automne si vous voulez faire des boutures.

How to train these plants against a wall, and In my case up and over a front doorway..?

Some great tips here, many thanks.

They look lovely Mike.

They look great! ❤

In mike we trust

Mikebaldwin007 is the best thing in my life

Mike Baldwin. Please can I have free robux😢🙏

Your knowledge is so bald that I went bold thanks mikeypoo007

能把木瓜海棠（Chaenomeles）种成这样真厉害，很漂亮！在中国和日本，木瓜海棠（Chaenomeles）通常作为小型盆景来种植。

Useful video! It's good that you tell us that you need to have about 40cm between the rows

Can quince be espaliered like an apple tree, with one main trunk and only a few lateral branches? So the plant is but a foot deep, front to back. Do quince bloom on lateral branches, or vertical ones, or both? Any idea? I would like to get a few fruits, for bragging rights if nothing else. I'm not looking to farm them but they would be nice ornamentation. With you hundred plus flowers how many will produce full sized fruit? And do you thin your fruit in order to get fewer but larger pieces--- like one might do with apples? Do birds bother the fruit? Do the fruit need to be netted so not to be damaged with nips and bites of curious animals? Anyone? Many thanks for any replies!

The stems that you just pruned, will you prune them again next year? Does the pruned branch need to be pruned each year to generate new flowers on it? Or does the pruning you just did last for 2 or 3 years, with flowers coming for 2 or 3 (or more) years? (Sorry, technical writing is not one of my skills, obviously!) I am thinking of planting a few bushes along my driveway and keeping them short and bushy 3-4 feet tall, 4-5 feet wide! Can you espalier them or semi-espalier them, so they are wider than thick? (Two feet thick by 4- 5 feet wide.) Or is this a farcical/dumb/bizarre idea? Anyone??? Thanks in advance!

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DESTROY THE SITH, NOT JOIN THEM!

Great video

My Brian just can’t retain it over time no CZcams video or anything has worked nor has this not to be rude

Those black seed pods look like Baptisia. Would never have guessed it was Wiegela

4m - 3cm, not 4m + 3cm?

Thank you for sharing ❤

I want to prune mine to a tree form. It is about 6 feet tall. It had grown to form a moose antler shape at the bottom, so i pruned out one side and kept the straightest side. There are two equal main scaffolds coming from the kept half. I plan to remove one later. So the remaining scaffold do I cut it to get laterals? tia
