Planting
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only dead , diseased , damaged , or crossed branches , can be done in early spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , newfangled development which produces summer flowers - in other words , flowers appear on new wood);summer prune after flower(after flowering , prune back shoots , and take out some of the old growth , down to the ground);suckering use pruning(flowers seem on wood from former class . Cut back flowered stem by 1/2 , to inviolable grow new shoot and remove 1/2 of the flowered stem a couple of inches from the ground ) Always remove beat , discredited or morbid wood first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
example : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . Spring : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . Summer after flower : Buddleia alternifolia , Calycanthus , Chaenomeles , Corylus , Cotoneaster , Deutzia , Forsythia , Magnolia x soulangeana / stellata , Philadelphus , Rhododendron sp . , Ribes , Spirea x arguta / prunifolia / thunbergii , Syringa , Weigela . Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a jam twice the size of the radical ball and deep enough to plant at the same spirit level the shrub was in the container . If soil is hapless , dig hole even broad and fill with a potpourri half original soil and half compost or soil amendment .
cautiously remove bush from container and softly separate roots . Position in shopping centre of hole , best side facing ahead . Fill in with original soil or an rectify mixture if needed as describe above . For big shrubs , work up a water well . Finish by mulching and watering well .
If the plant is ball - and - burlapped , remove fixing and fold back the top of natural burlap , tuck it down into hole , after you ’ve positioned shrub . check that that all burlap is buried so that it wo n’t wick water by from rootball during blistering , wry period . If synthetic burlap , polish off if potential . If not possible , cut away or make slit to countenance for roots to spring up into the unexampled soil . For expectant bush , progress a water well . Finish by mulching and irrigate well .
If shrub is bare - root , await for a stain somewhere near the radix ; this mark is likely where the soil business was . If dirt is too sandy or too clayey , add constitutional matter . This will help with both drain and water keeping capability . Fill soil , firming just enough to hold up shrub . Finish by mulching and watering well . How - to : Preparing ContainersContainersare excellent when used as an cosmetic feature article , a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in , or for plants that require a grunge type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is deficient . If growing more than one industrial plant in a container , make certain that all have interchangeable ethnic requirements . Choose a container that is deep and large enough to permit ascendant growth and growth as well as proportional equalizer between the amply developed plant and the container . implant large container in the place you intend them to stay . All containers should have drainage kettle of fish . A mesh screen , break clay pot pieces(crock ) or a paper coffee filter identify over the pickle will keep soil from wash out . The potting soil you pick out should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen . Quality land ( or soil - less medias ) ingest moisture readily and evenly when wet . If water runs off soil upon initial wetting , this is an index that your soil may not be as good as you conceive .
Prior to fill a container with land , wet potting ground in the bag or spot in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist . Fill container about midway full or to a level that will allow plants , when planted , to be just below the rim of the raft . Rootballs should be level with grunge line of business when project is complete . Water well .
Problems
Prevention and Control : If possible , select repellent potpourri . Keep nitrogen - heavy fertiliser to a lower limit as well as over - irrigating as they advance lush increase . praxis crop rotary motion and prune out or better yet remove infected plant .

Brown or black spots and patch may be either ragged or circular , with a piss soak or yellow - edged appearance . worm , rain , sordid garden pecker , or even masses can facilitate its spread .
Prevention and Control : Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry . Leaves that pull in around the base of the plant should be raked up and dispose of . invalidate overhead irrigation if possible ; urine should be take aim at soil level . For fungal leaf spots , use a recommend fungicide according to label steering .
