Before & After Camillia Pruning



















I love to prune. It's such a quick way to improve a landscape and if done correctly is also good for the plant and the surrounding environment. This camillia was creeping higher and higher in front of the living room window and in front of the path of this home. It also was hugging the house much too closely and it was keeping the area under it from accommodating other flora. I spent about an hour pruning it by lifting it up and removing some critical branches that were brushing against the house. As you can see now the clients can plant some colorful annuals or perennials under it. A huge bonus was the light that now comes into the basement window.
