[QUOTE="BeatCJ, post: 8213684, member: 126045"] Not too bad. In my opinion, your faces are a little bit too vertical, slightly cutting into the collar on the bottom. If you take any more branches, the top of the cut is in the correct place, but at the bottom, angle a little more away from the stem (trunk) of the tree. The bark collar is much less defined on the bottom of the branch, so I am probably nit-picking. Hard to tell from your photos, but I don't see any buds opening and your lawn looks pretty dormant, you didn't kill your tree. Phlox is pretty resilient, depending on variety, it's most often grown from cuttings. I think your statement "taking over a flower bed." says everything. Some like damp, others like more drainage.
