The final thing you want to do is cut off anything that is struggling and trying to grow inward or straight up. The more you do this the more your plant will behave and take on that umbrella look with even distribution and beautiful blooms. Now, they probably won’t grow to the exact arch and degree or angle that you want, but you can try and prune them to get them as close as possible.
It is ideal to make the overall appearance as uniform as possible and to do that you want the branches to come out in proper spokes. If your plant is already a little skinny and there isn’t a lot left on it, you don’t have to make as severe a cutback as you would normally.
Most of the time when you shorten your branches by no more than three or four in your plant will do just fine. Properly pruning in this regard will force the flowers to open up closer to the main branches and that will help you or blooms to stay contained. Avoid ingesting or smoking this plant, as it contains toxic compounds.If you fail to shorten these branches they will eventually grow too long and as your plant grows outward it will fall down too much and runs the risk of snapping off simply because of the weight of having too many flowers. Growing peegees is not a difficult task, provided you take care of them in the proper manner. They are also very popular for foundation planting. Peegee hydrangeas are fast-growing shrubs that can be seen as border plants or accent plants. You may also buy a plant that is already in the tree form. Prune the top branches according to the desired pattern. You must continue removing branches from the lower part of the main stem, as it has to form the trunk of the tree. Nip off the top part of the straight stem so that it produces additional branches. If that stem has branches, remove them leaving a few on the top part. Remove other stems except the straight one that has to be supported with a stake.
If you want your peegee hydrangea shrub to be trained as a tree, choose the straightest and healthiest stem. Even old branches can be removed, if they do not bloom anymore. You may also remove the suckers, along with dead and diseased branches. If you want your peegee to produce large flower heads, prune the plant heavily. As blooms develop on new growths, pruning results in more shoots and more blooms. Peegees can be pruned during late winter or early spring, before the plant produces new growths. Pruning can be done to shape the plant or to control its unrestrained growth. This is one of the most important aspects of peegee hydrangea care. The rust-colored dry flowers of these plants are often used for indoor decoration. The flowers last long and turn pink, before they fade. The bloom time for peegees starts from mid summer and extends to late autumn. Peegee hydrangeas produce large, white conical racemes during mid to late summer. The growth rate of these plants may vary with different conditions. The spread of the plant ranges between 8 and 10 feet. These hydrangeas grow to a height of 8 to 25 feet. The Plant: Peegee hydrangeas grow as multi-stemmed shrubs, but they can be pruned to a single stem, and grown as small trees with arching branches. The name paniculata refers to the panicles (racemes) produced by the plant, and grandiflora denotes its large flower heads. It is also referred to as PG hydrangea or tree hydrangea. In fact, ‘P’ stands for paniculata and ‘G’ stands for grandiflora. Peegee hydrangea is the short form of its scientific name.
