• e. if you cut out one in three of those stems to within 6 inches of the ground

    Having a look at it this morning, and what I think will be tricky is dealing with the front ones without ending up with an aethticaly worse situation than now - ie displaying more bare branches.

    Not sure if this photo conveys it.

    I'm wondering about taking some of the front ones down to ~4ft where new growth is showing, then following your advice on the other bits.

  • You can do it in stages. What you will be surprised about is how quickly the new growth comes up. So yeah perhaps prune one in 5 or 6 this year and then the same again next year.
