Author Garden: Red Bud Tree? tommie Gardener Member # 1391 posted                       We have a red bud tree which needs to be cut back. It has lost all of its leaves, should I cut it back now or wait till spring after it blooms. Also, I need to shape the tree, will it be ok if I do a lot of cutting back?

Member # 1345 posted                       eastern red bud is hardy to zone 4.you'd have to worry more about your freezes cracking the wood they have bad problem with wood going bad in spots and is likley why he is trimming it.mine has bad spots also but don't wanna cut cause is in center part of tree so will tolerate till side soots sprouting are larger then cut tree down and live with side shoots growing.the seeds need cold treatment 1st and do best planted in winter/fall * * * * I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want! http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit03 http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit http://photos.yahoo.com/njoynit03 Plants: 2209 | From: SE TX`in the yard somewhere most likely | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 67.202.90.48
