This is my elderberrie's second year of life and it shot up like gangbusters. I didn't want to trim it because I was just happy for all the growth. Didn't even have to water it much at all except when it drooped a little, a handful of time the whole summer (north carolina summers). Mulch ftw. But now it's fall and I'm wanting to address how rangy it got, even growing into the patio area. How do I prune this (beautiful) monster to make it more bushy and not destroy it? I don't know if you can see the red threads but I wrapped threads around all the limbs that produced fruit this year so I could tell them apart, because i think that affects how you prune it.
