I have a choisia, probably about 10/11 years old as it was here when I moved in. It is under a laburnham tree and a very large bay tree bush (poor thing) Hardly flowers but I dont mind as just want it to infill that bit of gardebn. It is a bit leggy so should I prune half of it hard in a week or so and they do same again next year to make it look more healthy? I live in West Dorset.

It would be better if you both started individual new threads (Button towards top right) with the name of the plants in question in the title - then people with relevant knowledge and experience will see your queries and be able to assist.
This is a more general thread dating back a few years.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've always understood that Wisteria should be pruned in winter - am I wrong, has it got forgotten from this list or is there something else to this that I am not aware of?

I have a 4 /5 shrubs and 3/4 saplings I've transplanted around my garden but my plant identity skills have faded.
apart from asking an amateur botanist to make a visit I can't seem to care prune or even know if I've sited them correctly. Any suggestions welcome
Hi Graham, welcome
I'd start a new thread and post photos for ID.
Then someone will know what to do with what you've got
