Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Cut back

Cut back side shoots and new growth to within 2 or 3 buds of old growth. You can distinguish old growth from new growth because it looks darker and more textured. Angle each cut so rain can drain off the stem rather than sitting on top and rotting the plant.

Step 3: Collect cuttings

Put all the cuttings in a garden trug or wheelbarrow and put them on the compost heap if you have one.

    It's true that it didn't live up to Holland Parks standard. Thanks all the same.

    Very limited detail. The cutwas made far too far away from the bud. No mention of training in new growth if required or tying in growth. Misleading and oversimplified.

    I found that apart from showing how to cut a twig/branch, the information was non-existent. As for telling us what a trug and secateurs are - quite ridiculous.

    I found the video to be concise and straightforward and brief. It answered all my questions in a time-frame I would have never imagined. I look forward to using your resource again. Good work.
