caught fire.. ??? ... can you tell us how... or is it too embarrassing ...

lol

any chance at a picture???? otherwise i can not tell you if it is worthwhile to prune ....

i guess... totally speculating.. that i would wait until spring flush.. and find out what is alive.. and what is dead..

and then around mid summer.. i would cut out all the dead ... it may take that long for new buds to develop and begin to grow ..

all that said.. i might be so embarrassed.. or pissed off about it all.. i might prune them at ground level.. be done with them.. as it would bug me to death every time i look at them ...

another way putting that.. is .. putting them out of MY misery .. lol ..

link below on how to post pix

good luck
