| Thanks to Smivies, this shrub has found a name. And thanks to Ken and Brandon, a few alternative names (Bob, Blob) given:)
This Rose Acacia is in my sister's yard and probably should be trimmed. Anyone have a suggestion on how to trim this back? I think it should be moved as well because it looks too close to the Althea row (which is what it is tied to to hold it up).
Thanks. Vickie |

| If you are going to move it, don't trim it right now. Wait until early fall (when the weather starts cooling down a bit) and transplant it. Leave all the limbs (foliage) on so that it has the maximum amount of energy going into establishing a root system. The second summer after transplant, the root system will likely be established enough to allow for some pruning without a negative impact on the plant. Pruning in summer (not early spring and not fall/winter) should reduce chances of excessive bleeding. |
