This shrub has thrown me for a bit of a proverbial pruning curve ball but I’m on it like a fly on you know what. I was once deemed the nickname of “Prunella”, and if I do say so myself, I’m a darn good pruner. I’m not talking about hacking here but well thought pruning when I have a purpose in mind that will benefit the plant. And, me!

I’ve had this Calothamnus quadrifidus “Seaside” (I’ve also seen it called Calothamnus villosus by other growers) in my front garden for 5 or 6 years now. I love it’s wackiness and independence – it grows how it wants to. My neighbor had 3 large pine trees which had grown to block some of the afternoon sun so my Seaside was developing quite the lean in the opposite direction. Not quite like the tower in Pisa but a lean nonetheless. 2 of those pine trees have been taken out, 1 last year and the other the year before, so the exposure has changed. This happens in gardens over time as plants grow and you just have to go with it and make adjustments. Enter in my pruning challenge.

Here's the link to the blog post, MY PRUNING CHALLENGE, so you can see exactly what I plan to do: http://www.joyusgarden.com/pruning-challenge/
