Texas Sage: Extreme Pruning
This Texas Sage shrub has been trimmed regularly into a snowball shape. It was first planted in 1996. It kept getting larger and there was a lot of dead wood in the interior. I decided to trim it way back to see if I could start over. Here is a photo diary of its progress.

This Texas Sage plant gets nearly total sun throughout the day. It is on an irrigation drip system and watered regularly. It gets slight shade from the Palo Brea tree nearby. It is common here in the metro Phoenix area (Sonoran Desert).
