Hi. We've had a Crinodendron about 7 or 8 yrs and it has flowered regularly with quite large pink / red lanterns. It's now about 9ft tall, which is quite large in a small garden like ours. Does anyone know the best time to prune, and by how much?
I was horrified just now to find that my husband had "trimmed" (annihilated) my beautiful Crinodendron which was in full bloom. He reckons that it needed to be kept under control and it won't harm it. I'm not convinced -I would have preferred to wait until the flowers had died down. PLEASE tell me that it will grow back. I'm so cross right now that I have probably have steam coming out of my ears!

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Bob, I'd reshape gently after flowering.

Thanks pansyface. That really made me laugh.....giving me ideas though !
pansyface you are a right comedian.told my wife and she agrees. although i would not let her loose in the garden as she kills anything she touches.
I killed one of these in my last garden. Think it was a bit dark and wet for it where I put it.
Why did you put your wife in a dark wet corner - and wasn't killing her a bit harsh?
