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.

purple leaf sand cherry question

10 years ago

I put 4 of these in a couple of years ago. They are adjusting and growing but not filling out as well as I'd like. I want to prune them now, early August, here in southwest Ohio where we are in a steam bath. I assume I'll have a long growing season yet.

Do I have to wait? I don't want to cut them back to the ground, but I'd like to start encourage them to fill out more.
