Cut

[Sunnyside25]

Hi, I’m garden inexperienced and I don’t know if to snip this tree before stormy weather coming tomorrow? I don’t want to weigh it down and the wind wreck it but I don’t want it to die. It died about July, I was watering it everyday in the heat but thankfully came back to life. Thank you.

I think it might be a type of willow? Maybe a flamingo salix? Because it's near the fence it should be protected from the worst of the wind but autumn /winter isn't a bad time to give it a trim. I would just neaten it up a bit, so only cut the longest bits back to the same length as the others.

Agree, just trim the tallest stems a bit. Do look around the garden though, and secure anything else that might blow about - pots, toys, garden furniture etc.

I've been outside taking the tops out of several large bushes including my beloved camellia, which had got way too tall and needed reducing anyway.

Leave it alone, it will be fine
