Evergreen jasmine - when to prune?
My lovely neighbours moved and gifted me an evergreen jasmine.
It needs repotting desperately, as it's in a small pot but is probably about 4.5ft high. It's not got a great shape to it, bits are bent & broken off. I'm going to try and repot it tomorrow, but when (or should I?) give it a prune? It has finished flowering.

Is it an indoor type? There are only a couple of evergreen outdoor types and those are really semi-evergreen in the UK. Like most shrubs, pruning is generally best done immediately after flowering so I would re-pot it and just tidy the broken and bent bits for now by pruning back to a bud or just above a leaf joint.
I dont think it was indoors, it was definitely in their garden all year round & climbed up the fence in summer. Looking at the rhs website, I think it's a star jasmine. I've had a winter jasmine & it looked nothing like this.
That would make sense Bex. Spring pruning for that jasmine-like trachelospurmum as you'll already have seen on the RHS site.
