Elaeagnus pungens 'Maculata'

It’s that time of year again: #elaeagnus taming. I’ve removed all the non-variegated bits and taken the height down by at least a metre!

I can see what you meant about it taking over now 👍👍

And I’ve got to get the garden looking good for my visitors 😉😂 @pelly @brightcolours @rachelbrooks

13 Sep 18 • Before...

13 Sep 18 • If a job’s worth doing... I pruned this the other day. Didn’t realise quite how much I had taken off until it was all piled up, but it was taking over 🙄

That’s quite a big hair cut Jacqueline 😱😂

It was Jane! But it doesn’t mind it if you cut into old wood and I can now see the rosa glauca and euonymus that it was hiding 👍😊 @pelly

Ahh! that moment when you turn around and see how much you’ve cut off! 😳😱🤣

Yup! @rachelbrooks
