Another job done, I've pruned Hydrangea paniculata 'White Lady'. I want to force it to branch so that there will be lots of white flowers this summer. The flowers are produced at the ends of the branches and each year has put on a delightful display from when the buds form to when the flowers begin to fade and become papery in autumn. This shrub attracts pollinators, like bees, butterflies, & hoverflies. Ideally, the plan is, that it will be a small tree. The dustbin men broke it in half when it was very young by throwing bags on it! So, I've had to adapt the plant accordingly.
