Sep 09, Linda, ornamental grasses can be cut to the ground in the late fall. After a good hard freeze is the ideal time. Some people burn them to the ground, but that’s really not necessary, and you certainly don’t want to burn the whole plant you could start a major fire. Just cut them within a few inches of the bushleaning.barted Reading Time: 1 min.

Feb 01, By cutting a shrub to the ground, you “reset the clock” – the result is a smaller, younger plant that usually flowers more profusely and can be thinned as necessary to keep it looking its best. For shrubs that are typically grown for their colorful stems, such as red-twig dogwood, rejuvenation pruning forces growth of new stems with much brighter color.

Jan 27, My plan is to walk my 7 ton excavator up the hill with an 8' railway iron beam across the bucket to push the foliage (10'+ high,bushy with huge thorns) out the way of the stems/trunks then a friend will cut them as close to the ground and paste them with glyphosate (50/50 water/glyphosate) which for this plant has to be done within 60 seconds of the cut or it seals up,I will then use the excavator thumb to move the cut bush.
