My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

leafless branches, when to prune?

12 years ago

My camellia is kinda spindly and small. On one side the branches are leafless. I'm not sure if this is winter damage, deer eating it, or what. It should have been protected from deer so I don't' think that is the problem.

Should I prune out those bare branches now, wait until later, or not at all?

thanks for any help
