I March I bought a Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle). It has gone really wold over the last month or so can anyone give me some pruning advice.
Many thanks Julie

But remember, pruning usually results in more growth. L. fragrantissima is potentially quite a large shrub reaching 2.5m x 2.5m in 10 years - if you prune it now it will grow some more this year - if you keep pruning it you will lose the flowers next year - is yours in the best place for it to be shown to it's best advantage?

Ahh! Maybe I should move it to a location that will allow it a bit more space. I have some annuals in that area just now. Would it be ok to prune it now and move it at the end of the summer?
