Question from
Georgie Turner
We have a young malus crab apple royalty - 2nd year in garden. It has some low side shoots that we would like to remove. When is the best time, and what is the best method. We have the same on a Rowan and Mountain Ash, although these shoots are thicker, but will become very low branches if we don't remove. Any advice?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Georgie
