When or if do you do you cut back Skimmias as I am not quite certain of the procedure

Never pruned Skimmias....im not an expert but i don't think they respond well to being pruned. I stand to be corrected though

Hi Skimmia's are pruning group 8, which means giving them a very light trim when necessary, any shoots that spoil the symmetry of the plant, plus any dead or damaged shoots, do it after flowering, Derek.

Timely advice as I need to cut back one that's now overhanging the path. Thanks Derek.

Thanks for your replies, will leave to see if it needs to be lightly trimmed.
