Mahonia Charity

Question from Catherine Tanser

Dear Shoot, In January we bought a Mahonia Charity, a large one which came over from Italy and cost £180. It has shown absolutely no new growth despite all the rain. Also, our gardener planted it in a sumnny spot. Is it going to be ok?

Will this shrub regrow if I cut it back harshly now.

Question from William Stewart

I have been given two of these plants one has some new growth at the top, the other has none, can I cut these back and if so so will they come back next season.

William Stewart.
