I recently got these three smaller smoke bushes for a pretty good deal. ( Midwest, zone 6
for a few relatively interesting trees at a good price I thought I’d give them a shot.
So I’ve already gone through and tracked down damn near every thread I could find on here over cotinus but I’m curious for anyones recent updates or experiences with this species. Im debating on the timing of large cut backs (thinking fall once the leaves change color and right before leaf drop with potentially sacrificing flower buds), will it back bud? How do they react to repotting and what’s the general timing or indicators for it (as they seem to leaf out pretty late), soil mixes, things you would have done differently, any pruning techniques that have worked well, etc.
really just hoping to hear anyones experience with these guys and to get any bit of info I can going into it.
