I'm curious about the growth habit of laylandii and how they recover when cut back beyond last green point. If a branch is cut back beyond the last point it is green will it produce a new shoot from a dormant bud? I ask because I know when they are a hedge you only prune as far as it's green.

Hi, I have been dismantling a jewditsia (have no idea on spelling) tree today which two of the four main limbs were leaning over the roof of the house and a conservatory and green house and to make things a little easier there was a BT phone line going through the middle of the whole tree. The thing I found hard today was when I had removed the limbs over the roof and cables I had only one limb to finish but soon realized that I need to go further out onto the limb so I could clear the cable the only problem was this limb had become horizontal with nothing to tie into above. (this limb was also the tallest limb hence the chosen limb for my tying in point and rigging) I just wanted to ask (generally to make me feel better, hopefully!) has anybody got into that situation where they are going horizontal to the highest possible tying in point and had to get underneath the limb and basically scrabble there way to the end whilst getting cramp and having to tie in every two feet. Before you ask there was no access for a crane and couldn’t get a cherry picker there as it was at the bottom of a very steep garden. Please make me feel better because I felt like a right prat.
