I am building a dogwood dividing hedge, During the summer, I planted a batch of container-grown red and yellow stalked varieties, and at the end of December, finally took delivery (due to mild Autumn) of some bare-rooted varieties. I belive that the earlier planted varieties need pruning hard in Spring, but my books refer to "well-established plants"
Does this mean that I should not prune the bare-rooted plants this year?
