Basic brug question

17 years ago

With all going on I need therapy.

What should I do with this guy?

Cut it back, fertilize or leave it for winter?

I have usually cut it back and winter in a designated area, but it has been such a brutal summer, no blooms and really had to watch it carefully.

Pat, there is still time for blossoms, isn't there? When is your first frost?

Have you given it a shot of bloom booster? Are you getting the rains in your neck of Texas?

Sorry for all your troubles.

Pat,

I live in north SA and you mentioned you are in our area. My brug has just started blooming, it had a rough summer. Our avg. first frost is end of Nov. so you have some time.

Karyn has left hers out in frost and it has not killed them. I don't think you need to worry yet, I plan to wait until December to cut mine back. This is my first brug, but I am confident that Karyn's advice will work.

Take care,
Shirley
