    Hi,
    looking around the garden I see that quite a few of our shrubs have been hit by windburn during the winter months. Is it best to cut these brown leaves off altogether or just let them grow on or out??
    Thanks

    Me - I'd take off the worst of them - without denuding the plant,and then wait for the new leaves. I always think that if a leaf is part undamageddamaged, that the plant won't replace as readily as if it wasn't there.

    But the plant needs leaves - so go careful
