I guess if you're a bunny, witch hazel tastes like candy. Which explains why, a couple days after we planted our nice little witch hazel shrub from Winter Greenhouse, I noticed several of the spindly branches snapped off. And why, the next day, all the little spindly branches were snapped off and all that was left was a collecting of blunted leafless sticks. Dan quickly made a cage for what was left of it and for all our other, as yet untasted, shrubs.The bright side of the story is that I had just read in my favorite gardening book that you should prune a shrub after planting it, advice I seldom bring myself to follow. This time, the rabbits did it for me.
