Hard prune and wire a white spruce?

Post by Reece »

Have I left it too late in Sydney to do this?

I've read that they don't like having this done to them during the growing season???

I know its not the growing season now but is it too far into winter?

Thanks.

Reece.

AND I know they don't back bud and wire very well but Im just playing around............
