Red twig dogwood

Our native red twig dogwood is the Red Osier dogwood - Cornus sericea. I have these in several areas of my garden where I feature native plants. Here is a photo of a row of red twig dogwood that are just about ready for a major pruning. This year I will prune back all the older twigs to a couple inches from the ground. I will also prune back other branches that get in the way of walking through the yard. I will post a photo after I do the pruning to show the results. New bright red branches will grow up from the roots.
