THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1965 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE Some Hints on Pruning This is the month of the prun ing hook Long ago Isaiah said, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks." A prudent use of this garden tool is to be recommended for like the surg eon’s scalpel it should be used to make better not to maim or even lull. Recently we made a trip from Columbia to Charleston and hav ing pruning in mind we saw di verse and sundary examples of this ancient art, for we see what we are interested in., Crape Myrtles There are more ways for grow ing crape myrtles than for al most any other shrub in our gar dens. On our street they are cut back to naked stubs each fall and present a hideous sight all win ter. If a low-spreading plant is wanted, the new dwarf crape myrtle should be bought. On the campus of the University of S. C. they are allowed to grow into 20- foot trees, some with single trunks ethers with multiple trunks. Down at Swansea, Mrs. Cogburn grows hers well above the eye-level and then in late winter she cuts off all growth smaller than a lead pencil. The new growth soon hides the scars and they do not have to be treated to keep them from form ing dead wood which is an invita tion for disease. Along the street in one of the older towns on the way we saw where a tall hedge had been cut half way to the ground, its nak ed stems held high like dead trees. If they lose their hedge they ask ed for it. At Middleton Gardens there is an old plant whinh bears a sign to let the touris know that it is a sycamore. It must be a century old. Downtown in Charleston crape myrtles are everywhere, espec ially in Hampton Park. Most of them—and there are as many of them as there are azaleas—are grown naturally as multiple trunk trees, but one fine example at least has a single trunk which re sembles pink alabaster at this sea son for the old bark has peeled away as the tree increased in cir cumference. Berried Treasure All along the famous battery, berride shrubs have been pruned up into tree-like plants, often overtopping old weather-worn walls. Some call them over-sized bonsai, sculptured trees, trubs, or shrubs with a poodle-cut, but whatever they are called they are extremely decorative, covered with brilliant red berries at this season. These include pyracanthas in variety, Washington hawthorn, the native yaupon, and many oth er hollies. Some of the pyracan thas are trained against the walls in vine-like designs and are most attractive. Classis Ivy Ivy is everywhere in clipped edgings, in controled garlands ag ainst walls and as ground cover in free form shaped beds under and trees. The shining vines are allowed to form low coverings for tree trunks, like petticoats. THE ROSE Roses grow in many Charleston gardensand by the looks of the bushes the practical gardeners do not cut them nearly to the ground each spring. They have the oldest canes removed at ground level, one or two each year and the oth ers cut back about half of their last season’s growth. Some of the plants are 50 years old or older but they are flourishing roses each year instead of a few cab bage sized flowers for a year or two and then throwing in the towel. Just ShruLs All those plants we just call shrubbery are treated like the roses, having the older parts re moved at ground level to encour age vigorous new growth in an open well balanced framework. Charleston Charm All this skillful pruning gives the old city a distinctive charm which is priceless and which the rest of us go miles to see each season. III . - ■HI si Mm.
