Help with cutting and over wintering

20 years ago

I have a burg that I got this spring. It is in a pot, this thing is hugh, over 8 Ft tall, I see many buds on it. I was told not to cut it below the Y, I don't think I can get it in my cellar. It has 2 side shoots, and one I think has a bud. Should I cut the 2 side shoots off, what about the main one, should it be cut? This is my first burg, so any help you can give I would appreciate it. Thanks so much, Donna

Hey Donna!!
How wonderful for you that have a Brug that has done so well.. What color is it??
As I know it..( only been growin Brugs for a couple of yrs..)Cut it back( where you need to they are very forgiving) and start the cuttings..If you move it to the cellar it should be fine..I forgot and left one outside last winter and it is the biggest one I have .I am a z7bish.(not 8 ft tho..LOL)

Chena, thanks for the help. Mine is yellow, bought it from a local green house, so I may not get what I was told.I think I am in zone 6 depending where I look LOL. How do you do the cuttings? I have read that they can be put in water, where do I keep them, in the cellar. house? How often do I change the water? I know alot of questions, I want to save them if I can. One more question, do I need to water the one in the pot during the winter? Thanks for yor help
