So making them into tree form in spring really tidies them up and I can actually plant stuff under them. Also makes mowing next to them easier. Good luck with yours next year.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-60575730595263625742012-10-20T22:23:20.334-04:002012-10-20T22:23:20.334-04:00Love the butterfly bush tree.
