    My sad Choisiya!

    I'd reduce all the stems by a third and keep your plant well watered, moist but not waterlogged.  New buds should appear within the next four weeks or so.  A mulch of well rotted manure, soil conditioner or compost will be better for your plant than a synthetic fertiliser.  Good luck!
    Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

    I think that's just been crowded out by other plants, which has resulted in it being leggy. The fact that you've said the garden was overgrown would suggest that  :)
    It'll be fine with a good watering and some organic matter. They're quite easy, and you can certainly prune them back no problem. It should come away over the next six months or so.

    Good luck with it @keithcorsby. It can be a bit daunting sorting out a dishevelled and overgrown space, but you'll get there  :)
