Butterfly Bush

Location: Entrance, By Main Gate

Fact Sheet: Buddleya

Work Type: Pruning, Shaping

Status: TBD

Work Items:

Has been brutally hacked, as usual, but they are very tough weeds/shrubs and will be back for more next year. In fact, as the weather has been mild, there has been much activity from some of the hardier plants, as can be seen from the most recent photo (mid-November)

The overall size could be reduced and the interlaced stems thinned out, to prevent issues related to excessive density and poor airflow (fungus and friends)

Also, it’s possible this plant’s roots may be slowly but surely dismantling the wall it is growing into, so reducing it might discourage it from getting too comfortable
