Lonicera Emergency Prune

Lanarkshire,Scotland, United Kingdom Gb

I have pruned off some crazy strong low-down growth which was pointing in all the wrong directions near the plant base. Was I wrong to do this....? We were having visitors and I had to drastically tidy-up. The shoots I pruned off were approx two feet long....

I dont think they mind being chopped. Mine is very vigorous.

i agree but give it some water (ha ha) if it dries out over the next six weeks!!

I chopped down an old straggly non-flowering one to the base last year and it PERSISTS in sending up healthy shoots - so don't worry about upsetting it!

How do I say thanks?
