• Pruning advice, if it's even pruning that is needed. Moved in about 6 weeks ago and working our way around the garden, previous owners clearly enjoyed gardening, but I suspect that a small child and deciding to move meant that a few things were let go in the last 6-12 months.

    The tree/bush/plant in the pic has fresh growth on one side (red) but the rest just has bare branches and some dry leaves (blue). What can I do to try and neaten the whole thing up and encourage some growth on the left hand side?

  • Not sure what it is (Euonymus maybe?); there are a few different things in the photo.

    But as midlife says, option is probably to cut back hard and see if it comes back.
