Prune: verb - to remove (dead or superfluous twigs, branches, etc)
 from (a tree, shrub, etc), especially by cutting off 

I did not want to admit that the recent freezing temperatures had gotten the best of this favorite plant. 
There were no buds on it like this time last year. The stems were dry and brittle. There was no life. 
There was no choice. It had to be pruned back if it was going to have any chance at all. 
It hurt to cut it back as far as I did. But with the dead twigs gone, some green leaves peeked through! 
I'm looking forward with hope for what can grow now!
