Question of the Week:

“I have what they call a dwarf burning bush, and if it’s a dwarf I would hate to see its big brother. It’s over six feet tall and blocking my window and the view from my porch. What is the best time to trim my big dwarf burning bush? It has flat branches and red berries; it’s beautiful in the fall and early winter and I don’t want to do anything to hurt it.”

— Teddy from Harlan County, Kentucky
