Name: greene Savannah, GA (Sunset 28) (Zone 8b) I have no use for internet bullies!
I am happy you made a decision and I think it is a good choice.
With the shrub form the only pruning (other than the crossed branches previously mentioned) would be to maybe cut off anything that sticks out too far. Guess that means less cuttings for me, oh well.
