They seem to be a little more vigorous if you prune them.

Uh-oh....That's a shame, B. Confused Do you think that those are particularly difficult things to grow? Dit you discover what killed the smoke bush last year?

Barb, look at the bottom of this page under 'related topics'. Is that information that might answer some questions? Neutral
