Hi Everyone!
I have a 12 year old, Comtesse de Bouchard. I have made some pruning mistakes. We live in a rather harsh environment at 6000 ft in the Sierras. It's high desert, yet we got over 4 feet of snow this past winter. I didnt prune it much for the 11 years because I was afraid it would not come back, so I had 6 feet of hard woody stem with blossoms up high. This spring, 3weeks ago I tried to prune it farther down, now I have 5 feet of woody stem, it looks dead, no buds.
Did I kill it? Is there anything I can do?
Thanks !
