Re: Euphorbia cotinifolia

Hi Janet,

I'm also in zone 24 and have been growing my E. cotinifolia as a bush for
many years. I was cautious at first, but have never had any trouble and have
already pruned it drastically in December.  I find that produces vigorous
growth with big beautiful leaves.  The same methods are reputed to be true
with Cotinus itself, though if you are too drastic, I guess you sacrific the
flowers.
