Wowzers, we did not expect this much deadwood! The pile actually is half the original size because we kept pressing down on the debris for efficiency. Us gardeners actually consider this fun!
As as result of the harsh winer, msny gardens are showing signs of loss. If perennials are not popping up by now, well, hmm they probably will not.
This season spring cleanups are still going on in May! Highly unusual with Mothers day around the corner. This week is the time when it can really be determined…. Is it dead or alive. Proper pruning aids a gardens beauty and health. There are many great on line tutorials to reference. To make it simple, for trees and shrubs many go by the below basic thoughts.
“If it’s brown, cut it down.”

The bend test. If the branch/twig is flexible, it is alive, leave it alone.

Prune a branch/twig, it there is a green halo under the bark and feels a bit damp, there is hope!

Finally, many trees and shrubs just leaf out late, especially butterfly bushes. If the tree/shrub is known for that, and is what you think, not showing signs of growth… look towards the base of the shrub or along the trunk. If young foliage is emerging, cut everything down to that point, fertilize and see. If in weeks time noting more happens, kaput… treat yourself to something new!

Nearly in its third year this garden is going to belong to new homeowners soon. Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye. I cannot find a picture of the before, but it is quite a transformation.🙏🏻
