Place your Columnar Shrub level in the hole. This is especially important with narrow bushes so take a step back and ensure your shrub is straight. The top of the root ball should be slightly higher than the soil line. Backfill with the soil you dug out of the hole. Water deeply until the ground can no longer absorb water. Apply 1 to 2 inches of mulch to reduce weeds and watering needs and protect the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"col-6-sm\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eHow to Prune Columnar Shrubs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThese narrow bushes are chosen for their natural shape so pruning usually isn’t necessary. Prune broken or dead branches when you notice them. Heavy pruning should generally be performed in late winter or early spring. A minor trim or shearing to keep your Columnar Shrub looking tidy can be done anytime except in mid to late fall (depending on your climate). Pruning often stimulates new growth which can be damaged by freezing temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"col-6-sm\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eAre There Any Columnar Shrubs for Shade?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes!
