  Just moved and noticed the buddlea is about 8 ft high already has shoots on it can. Cut it down to about 5 ft now

  Yes Janette, I did mine yesterday to 5-6ft. Would cut them down as low as I could if I had the equipment and they'd still come up nice and tall.

  If you have the tools I'd take it down much lower than that as Mrs Garden suggests

  It might be worth investing in a cheap pruning saw

  This sort of thing, you'd get one pretty cheaply from a GC or DIY place
