I got one several years ago but it has got too big for its place. Can I prune it and how?

As you can see, it's on one side of my waterfall feature and needs a good trimming back.Attached FilesI work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!Comment

I wouldn’t trim too severely. I would cut back the branches that distort the shape and then next year trim back a bit further and so on. That way you can get it under control without leaving ugly gaps and you can see where the new growth is coming from.

I was hoping that would be the answer. Would you start doing a little bit now or leave it until next year?I work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!Comment

I would do a little now and then more next year. Conifers are best pruned when they are actively growing.Last edited by roitelet; 31-07-2018, 12:41 PM.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment
