Best red twig dogwood pruning video I've seen. You care about all the same things I do. Watched this a few years ago before I got my dogwood and now I will be pruning my dogwood next spring for the first time and will use this method. No nonsense with leaving 6" stubs or going in with shears! Looks natural as it should! Good job! Thanks.

I pass that plant every day. Looks great going into this coming winter. Could not help myself bending over to clip out about 10 dead (brown) stems. Now it's perfect again!

Thank you for showing the correct way to prune a Red Stemmed Dogwood. Another site just lopped the stems off level across the top. You always want to encourage new growth from the base of the plant. Keeping the plant light and airy shows off the beautiful whispy red stems.

Mine looks as young today as it did 22 years ago. Maybe better.

I am waiting on an order of twenty-five of these from Red Rock Trees. They refer to them as Red Osier Dogwood. I heard the deer love 'em, so I plan to plant a few of these next to a field edge, also two or three in my yard.

This was the most informative video I’ve seen. I bought a small red twig dogwood from Lowe’s because I wanted one but didn’t plant it right away as I didn’t know where to plant it. I planted six months later this spring. it’s been almost months in the ground and it’s now the start of July. I see no signs of growth with new shoots or leaves. The scratch test on the twigs are green which should indicate it’s alive. Should I just leave it and give it more time to settle in? I’m nervous to prune it as it seems it has one line tank at the base with about six 18” shoots growing from it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just planted one from a nursery in mid May, zone 4 or 5. The leaves started yellowing when it was dry and then there were heavy rains. Should I prune now to reduce the stress? Thanks

I would not prune off twigs now until they appear completely dead, as in all dried up. They could resprout.

Supposing u just cut them all.. You would get a huge flush of new growth but lose the form?

You would get a huge flush of new growth, but I think not necessarily lose the form. It would just be all juvenile foliage.

If you prune in early spring and the plant flowers later you should have more berries.

No, and I'm not sure it would root. Would be better to take a root/stem cutting as that is pretty easy with a tree spade.

I believe everyone has their own twist/style of pruning shrubs. Each person's garden can be unique in that regard. As long as the pruning method does not harm the vigor of the plant.

The camera should have been placed closer, can’t really see what you’re doing!
