Dare you consider trading that 'coveted' design feature for something you'll actually use? This logic can help
Full StoryI don't have one; I want one. I have trouble imagining how to actually take the pruning shears in hand and make the cuts. I've got two cotinus coggyria: one must be 15-20 feet tall, quite dense and out of proportion to the rest of the garden (I think it is purple cloak)the second is a kind of scraggly old thing, still not bad foliage.
Can any one find and send, or actually draw a before uncoppiced shrub with the cuts that illustrate the process.
I know this sounds like I'm dramatizing. But I cut the "old scraggly" one down once and it took two full years to recover. I thought I'd lost it.
