    will it harm by beautiful solanum to cut it down a foot or two now? It it reaching for the stars although I did prune it in the early spring. Love the plant but it does look a bit out of proportion to the pergola.

    personally, I cut it to about a metre so that when you dig round the roots, you've got something to grab hold of to pull it out of the ground. image

    I think it's a thug to be banished. But feel free to love it.image

    I prune off odd bits during the growing season if it is getting unruly so I would go ahead and cut off bits you don't want image

    Well....have done a bit more than trimming but certainly looks a lot tidier. Hope I haven't killed it.

    The white one is much more civilised.
