Re: August is a hard month

Hi Diana

I have a Buddleia tree (so high now only after 18 months
growth).  You say cut it back to the ground in spring, would
this be the case for  one of tree proportions???  Would it
come back after such a severe chop??.  I thought about
pruning off the old flowering growth.
