Pruning is the word - Grosso unplugged

It's late summer and that means some back breaking work. Our Pacific Blue and Grosso needs pruning. This is where we cut all the last seasons growth back to the old or hard wood. Its been a great growing season so some of the Grosso growth has been over 25cm - thats a lot of growth!With over 5000 Grosso and Pacific Blue to prune it's a matter of leaning over each individual plant and literally shearing it, just as you would a sheep. The "haircut" occurs either in late summer summer or late spring. Its important to complete the task before or after frosts that can damage any new tender growth. Our fantastic hedge trimmer makes this back breaking task bearable!
