Gita, I took the big one off at about 18 inches, knee high on me and the smaller one about 12 inches. I do dead head mine a bit but I don't always keep up and some of them are just too tall for me to easily reach. I just came in for a quick break, great day to burn, no wind and a lot of wet ground. I started working on the Forsythia, I hate to miss the spring bloom but I don't want any birds nesting in it. I'll be putting in a nice tree there in another month or two. I'm cutting some branches to bring in side and a bunch for my Mother, too. At least they all won't go to waste.
