Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is a condition that causes pain over the outside of your upper thigh (or thighs). The cause is usually due to inflammation or injury to some of the tissues that lie over the bony prominence (the greater trochanter) at the top of the thigh bone (femur).
Step 1. Prune your autumn sage twice a year in the late winter after all flowering has ceased and again in August to keep the plant more compact in size. Step 2. Shear the plant to just 4 inches above the crown during the winter pruning session. Clear away all of the cuttings to make room for spring growth to emerge.
2. Prune the upper stems of the arrowwood viburnum with sharp pruning shears or loppers within two weeks after it flowers in the summer because buds for the following yearâs flowers will form during the summer. If you prune after the buds form, you reduce the flowers for the following year.. Remove the oldest stems near the base to open the inside of the shrub and promote new growth, air circulation and light penetration. Do not remove more than one-third of the entire shrub during pruning.
