I have two Brooms. They were a really nice shape. After some heavy rain they have gone a bit wild. There is a got 1 -2 inch new growth - above the flowers that still remain.
My question, is when if ever do you trim, cut Brooms. I have read several suggestions. All from cut around May - or after it has finished flowering, to cut right down to the ground.
Can anyone offer what they do - as I don't want it to become to bushy and woody.

where would I cut from? As said there is already quite a lot of new growth - which has appeared in the last couple of weeks.
thanks.

Cut back to side shoots.
You can totally remove [ back to ground level ] about 1/3rd of shoots every year.
