GARDEN MAKEOVER: Shrub Transformation!

[@mmarinl508]

As someone who inherited a yard with shrubs I would not have picked myself, this whole philosophy of exposing the trunks has saved me from ripping out some mature shrubs that provide privacy and structure. While I may not care much for the foliage the shrubs provide, I am thoroughly now able to enjoy their architecture. Thank you Linda.

[@susan6336]

Good to know!! Wish I’d had this kind of patience when we bought our current home. I really regret pulling some of the mature shrubs in order to “make the garden my own”.

[@sherrybrown4340]

Pro tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@BubblesandDucks]

Linda, I love your new baskets. I think you need your own garden boot/shoe line. That would be amazing.

[@Triton71]

[@wsog3]

Pruning shrubs and small trees has become one of my favorite gardening chores. Sooo satisfying!

[@murphylee8998]

Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?

[@sylviastevenson3446]

I’ve really enjoyed pruning shrubs into trees for sometime now. I was delighted to see you do it as well! Here in the Pacific Northwest gardeners love to prune up their older rhododendrons into trees and, my gosh are they striking, especially when in bloom. I’ve also used this method with a very large Pieris Japonica, a camellia and a waxleaf privet. Love the sculptural look that it gives the garden! I am a great fan of topiaries too! Thank you for your videos, they are really enjoyable!

Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?

[@margaretchiodo-keller9361]

You did a good job trimming up these plants. They look so much better now. I love your videos, and always look forward to watching them. I have also learned from them. Keep up the good work.

Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe…..?

[@annhughes2696]

Linda your videos have inspired me to prune the lower branches of my gorgeous Japanese Maple allowing just enough sunlight underneath for a new shade garden and what a difference it made in the beauty of the tree. Thank you!

[@janicemurphy4373]

I LOVE WHAT YOU DID AND IT DOES LOOK SO MUCH BETTER, IT ACTUALLY HAS A ART FORM, NOT SO SHABBY, BUT VERY NICE FORM!!!!

[@fannieallen6005]

What a big difference when you prune back to expose fresh and new growth. It helped the air circulation that the plants really need to help prevent diseases. Yes, I am always talking to my plants out loud or to God.

[@murphylee8998]

Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?

[@beckylynn9623]

Just watching you prune that bush was so enjoyable! I also wanted to mention how much I enjoy your linguistics! You make me feel like I'm right next to you in your garden, and you are having a conversation with me!

[@LindaVater]

Thank you Becky!

[@leshamonk9311]

Worked pruning my huge PRIDE OF MOBILE azaleas a few days ago. I cleaned the suckers out and trimmed the lower branches back to pervent them rooting if contact is made with the the soil. Enjoy pruning and your videos. Keep them coming.

[@Cenepk101]

Unbelievable how much better that looks !!! Love it. More in scale with the new nandinas & the whole composition with the window box will be balanced-I am certain of THAT - when you get that finished. I appreciate your most patient approach to this modification- I tend to rush through- been watching you for almost a year. Really ! You’ve taught me to slow down a bit. I only have privet that I do that to- that is mature enough, on the back fence of my 1st acre. There is an 8 ‘ wide gate leading to the back acre. I know people despise privet - But I am in love with the scent & the screening & the homes it creates for wildlife.

[@Cenepk101]

I have at least 25 yards of privet on each side of that gate that leads to the back acre. It’s a task to limb it up. But very satisfying.

[@bestinhomeandgarden]

I ‘Vater-ized’ my wonky Loropetalum! To me, what was an awkwardly shaped shrub has now been transformed into a wonderful tree shape that resembles a beautiful Japanese Maple. We love the results! Thanks for the inspiration and instruction, Linda!🙌🏻

[@LindaVater]

Woohoo!!!

[@wilnellialima9944]

I agree! I love pruning. It's very relaxing. The shrub looks fabulous Linda!

[@dianeasberry7928]

I so agree with trimming away the dead or dieing branches make a world of difference in the plant's over all look.

[@annwoleben5439]

Pruning is therapeutic for me and the plant. One day after a very frustrating day at work, I came home and cut down a small tree. Yikes! I once cut our gardenia bush back to the ground after severe ice storm damage. It is now a tall, lush bush and has produced beautiful gardenias each year. I am new to your channel and enjoying it so much. Happy Mother's Day!

[@laurahall9114]

Hi Ann, you have inspired me to do more heavy pruning to my old gardenia which looks kind of leggy. I have been too afraid of killing it. As Linda says, be brave.

[@annwoleben5439]

@@laurahall9114 Check online before you begin to make sure you do this at the right time. This was a few years ago, and I think I cut it back in March.

[@aimeeseattle]

I loved this video , that you had stewart right in there with you in the shrub with a great inside view, talking and explaining things while pruning your shrub . Yesterday i pruned and shaped my small plum tree (volunteer tree from neighbors) into a topiary form and it does feel so great to get into that zone! I used to paint acrylic, and oil, not that great, but i do love art, and i feel like pruning feels like art to me, and so satisfying to trim how you want it to develope. Gardening and pruning feels like a form of art to me, placement, shaping, colors. Just this past year i realize it is a form of art to me, placing plant textures and colors complimenting each other , highlighting or accenting colors and shapes and sizes. Love the feeling! It takes me away, like some form of therapy. And last week i learned about how trees and plants can communicate and connect to each other and i watched so much online about it , i am so blown away that i had to let my husband and sons watch and learn about it too. I have a much greater appreciation of my plants and nature now. Love your videos and im a dedicated daily watcher and subscriber! Please let us know when the date of the QVC show will air so i can order!

[@josephineguifarro1088]

Hello Linda a pleasure to write to you, your Cuba Japonica is lovely, I have 3 of these in my small yard garden they like shade on my Zone-7 in Virginia 😇 I thank you for sharing your wisdom with we new gardeners!

[@lisalundstrom1591]

I have a very small garden behind my garage with a pathway running through it. Last year I bought a pieris with every intention of pruning it up once it gets large enough. Because of the confined space I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have a large bushy shrub, but by pruning it up I can have the height and add smaller plantings underneath. I am also planning on doing this with viburnums and have done this with lilacs and privets as well.

[@patriciaknowlton2635]

Hi Linda - I did this bottom pruning to 2 hollies that were crowding my front steps - I loved it and like you said, so satisfying. The end result was just what I wanted and the neighbors commented on how much they liked it. - good work!!

So great - your pruning videos - I feel like I cleaned my whole house! I am the opposite of you and Sara - this year I am letting everything really flush out. We have had so much rain, and the new growth so pretty, I will prune and reshape in the coming weeks. New intro is cute - but I did love the screeching brakes. Stewart on cutting that branch - that was the cut!

[@colinmcknight2590]

Limbing up the Akuba is definitely the right move. It looks so much better with the negative space, and also creates room for up lighting, if you ever want to add that for night time drama.

[@rebeccathomas9804]

I’ve been watching you for a few months now and really appreciate all the great ideas, tips, tricks and advice. After the last week (ok....year. The whole last YEAR! 🙄) I really needed some encouragement. While the comment about moving the coffee pot may not inspire me to greatness, it definitely made my day. I’m not sure if you were trying to be funny but you had me cracking up with your delivery. Thanks for the giggle! 💚

Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?

[@thestuntmanswife6168]

I just pruned up a massive 12ft leylandii in this way. I was debating whether to take it out completely. But after catching a glimpse of your beautifully “pleached” mature conifer, I was inspired to give it a go. To say I’m pleased with how it turned out is an understatement! I took all the lower growth off right up to the top of my 6ft fence. It’s opened up so much planting space and has given me a few more hours of morning sunlight into the flower bed opposite it. Thank you for inspiring me to think outside the box Linda, you’re truly heaven sent!! ❤️ xxx

[@claudialaurendeau2865]

i had a really fat bushy bush and i cleaned it out and uplifted the whole thing and i really like it now. The spot it was in just couldn't carry the big fat MANY branched look of this bush. Suits the spot so much better now. Last season i did this to a service berry tree and it is a gorgeous structure now with all the branches exposed now.

[@jennifersauer3257]

Thanks for that guidance, Stuart! When Linda cut that branch back I said to myself, “get rid of it!” The rejuvenation pruning tip is a good one but it’s important to research whether the plant will tolerate it, and when is the best time to do it. Not all shrubs will flush back when cut back so severely. Happy Mothers’ Day!

[@lm8006]

Gotta love a garden epiphany! That feeling that the plant is talking to you 😊 I seem to do more work on exposing trunks of trees (star magnolia, redbud, dogwoods) than I do on shrubs. For the first time, this year I’ve been doing rejuvenation prunes on sand cherry, rose of Sharon & Hypericum (inspired by videos like this) I’ve learned cutting is a good thing. By the way, the after looks great!

Happy Mother’s Day to you too! Love how you pruned that bush. As you snipped off each dead/dying branch, the garden’s vibes changed from closed-in and dark to something so much more open, airy, light, and inviting. You made the perfect decision to do that. We have a verbena bush in the back that needs the same thing done - too rainy/stormy today but hopefully tomorrow I can do the same thing! Thanks for your posts - they are GREAT!

We are just going into winter here in New Zealand and I jumped the gun with one of my Rose of Sharon, and gave it a good haircut last week. I've got three more to go but will wait until ALL the leaves have fallen. The one I did has now got a great tree shape to it rather than a thick mass of twisted and sometimes spindly branches down to ground level. I've saved the cuttings and will use them to try and make some teepees for my climbers in summer. I love your videos Linda.

[@sheilamarie3788]

The Saturday before Mother's Day, I pruned all my shrubs and small trees. I have always turned my lilacs and Roses of Sharon into trees. Seeing you do it validates my long standing practice. I also bought a small crape myrtle on sale, potted it and pruned it up properly. Looks gorgeous in my back deck.

[@alisonschooley5459]

Thank you for this video. After years of figuring it all outlay trial and error, and my son taking over(grad student botany), I am back to it. Your videos are a very practical help to me. The right pruning saved our lemon tree and we get an abundance of delicious lemons every year.

[@theresaparodi6027]

I can’t say enough just how much I love this Linda Vater signature touch. I’m in Northern California and don’t have large yards but I do have a lot of pittosporum that adds structure. So like you said, by “limping up” I get so much more garden to add beauties - 😊 thank you!

[@MarysNest]

Hi Linda, I SO enjoy your channel. I have learned so much from you which has really helped me improve my garden. I have vegetables and herbs along with ornamental/edible flowers. So many of our shrubs took a beating with the rough Texas storms we had back in February...but little by little I am getting our garden back to normal. And I love how you say to wait before doing certain things because the plants will tell you what to do. How true!! Thank you so much for all you do and share!! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️

[@dianapohl8185]

I limb up shrubs on a regular basis and maintain that look. I've done it with lilacs, laurels and more, and it lightens the area below to allow for additional plantings and more air circulation to keep the plants healthy. Love the look as it does, as you say, often give a more tropical feel to the space! And I, too, agree that just rearranging items on my kitchen counter is uplifting, as is re-arranging furniture! I do it periodically and love the 'new look' and feel of my home.

I've done your pruning to the two old camelia and a very old honeysuckle , that was just taking over . You have given me courage to thin out trees also .

Wow! That is one beautiful trim already!! Linda, I am pretty new to your channel, and I do so enjoy your garden. I even went back and looked at your home videos. Such a pleasure! I watch a lot of younger women who are scarcely decorated and haven’t been given the pleasure of 30 (or 40 in my case) years of collections or the desire for the old family photos. Your home and your gardens are so warm and classic. Makes me very happy! We just built our dream home on the Caney Fork river in Rock Island, TN (thought you may know it since you lived in Knoxville)...so I have a blank slate! Lots of trees!

I recently pruned my weeping cherry tree. I cut it back by 60%, as it was doing poorly on the inside of the tree where many branches had died off. It looks so much better and healthier now! I gave it some compost and fertilizer. I was a little concerned I was being too aggressive with the pruning, but I think it appreciated it so much and potentially saved the tree. It should continue to be a beautiful tree in my back yard for many years. (Zone 6b)

We limbed up our yew hedge. We had a long, rather boxy and boring yew hedge across the front of the house on the north side. I dreamed of floral bushes like hydrangeas because the area is very shaded and needs some color. I watched one of your episodes where you talked about limbing up and the next day went out and tackled that hedge. It looks fabulous! It now has a bonzai appearance and the trunks of the four, equally spaced plants add architectural interest. They look amazing. I love the yews now and so glad we didn't tear them out. We are underplanting with Japanese ferns, dwarf hydrangea, hosta, coleus, etc. If I could post a picture I would.

[@deborahbarr8501]

Greetings from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and love the content. Last year I trimmed back an overgrown Japanese Rose that was over taking an area of my garden. I love the plant, but it loves to travel. My plants underneath appreciated it and thrived last year. Will be doing the same this year. I have one small blue spruce that I moved last year, it wasn't doing very well where it was. I was going to pull it out, but I have had this spruce for many years, so I think I will trim back the damage and see how it does this year. This morning I watched Must Grow Flowing Shrubs and while doing my weekly grocery shopping decided to stop by my local nursery and bought a Proven Winners My Monet Weigela.
