When the workers comp auditor shows up, they must check the business owners books to determine what the actual payroll was. Further they then must place each employee into a workers compensation class code and it is that selection that impacts how much a business must pay for their workers comp.
Step 1. Remove dead or diseased branches of the Red Prince weigela with a hand pruners. Make the pruning cut 1/4-inch above a lower healthy branch junction or stem to fully remove the dead or disease-ridden branch.
Many of these shrubs tolerate severe pruning. I prefer a more moderate approach. This allows you to control growth and encourages sturdier stems. Cut all the stems of potentilla and spirea back halfway to the ground. Then remove half of the older and thicker stems to ground level. New shoots will emerge in spring. The older remaining stems will provide support for the thinner often floppy new growth.
