I cut mine back whenever it looks shaggy. They are pretty sturdy shrubs. (06/25/2007)

I'm letting mine go natural - I planted it out away from the house, hope it turns into a big flaming tree! I can't stand lollipop shapes inflicted on living things. A little light shaping, fine, but not that ball-shape, not for me. Have fun with your artistry in the garden! (06/25/2007)

You prune it in the spring before the new growth comes on (06/25/2007)

I prune it anytime. It fills in again quickly. (06/28/2007)
