Could you please share with me, and the rest of the forum members, what specific steps you take to train a brug into a nice standard? I have been searching for info. on this forum but have not come up with anything. Can a rooted mid-cut brug cutting be trained to be one without it looking strange at the bottom where the cutting was cut? Should it be a 'tip' cutting? Any thoughts on this would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

P.S. Check out the attached link of Monika Gottschalk's brugs...what a BEAUTIFUL garden!!! Brugmansia Heaven......

Very easy procedure- starting from a cutting or small plant, remove all of the side shoots and branches, leaving only the top leader. Continue to remove any side branches until it reaches the height you want, then allow it to form a Y. There you have it! :)
