In what I know in dissectums is that they rarely get over 6 feet tall. And that often takes years. In regards to pruning, you can prune them by thinning out smaller branches on top to show off their beautiful structure. You can do this any time in spring after they have leafed out. Usually only 5 to 10 percent of the plant is remove by selectively pruning out small branches and twigs unvail their form. Don't remove to much because branches exposed to much direct sun can blister bark. That's why it's usually done in spring when the sun is not the strongest. Most dissectums grow very wide rather than tall. The one main exception to this is upright dissectums like seiryu which grows tall to about 12 to 15 feet. Hope this helps. <BR/>All the best, BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426398682131679870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501158541891921575.post-12899551560247900632007-11-10T12:55:00.000-08:002007-11-10T12:55:00.000-08:00The Japanese garden is beautiful and they are such...The Japanese garden is beautiful and they are such a study in texture and color all year long aren't they!
