Hi Everyone,
I have a Hypericum,it is two plants merged together now .When i bought them they were in two inch pots and are now approx 6ft high and 6ft wide shaped into a square.I really need to lop at least a foot of one side,but it looks very bare inside the bush very twiggy.Last year i had a Blackbird nest in it for the first time,funny she chose it really because the sparrows go in it a lot and a few other birds too.
1 If i cut it will it grow back with with nice fresh leaves?
2 When should i cut it?
