I've bought a house and have inherited a lavender plant that has become extremely woody as the one in the video. You say that it's best to start over again. Can I take anything from the old plant to restart new growth?
In the wild the lavender woody branches will sag into the ground & root, much like propagating by layering, starting another plant a few feet away until you have a massive plant. If you want to save that plant, you can take clippings, or propagate by layering, & start to prune back the other branches year by year, but if the ONLY main stem dies so will the plant so Basically doing what nature would do, nibbling down the branches some & layering the long ones. Silly expert village!
:-( This is so not what I wanted to hear.
Oh, well.
