Whatever you do, never trim more than about 20% of the shrub.
Actually, that goes for just about any plant.
Otherwise you run the risk of killing it if you cut too much.. |
Thanks. Actually, what you suggest fits perfectly with what they need. Not everything is leggy, and I think I can get a nice roundy shape with just trimming a few leggy branches.
