Question from
Lisa Sargent
I have a very large, untidy pyracantha shrub. Although your advice is to trim back in Spring, can I cut back stems which have berries to the point where the berries are now? I'd really like to trim back ALL branches. Lots of them don't have berries. Will I lose flowers next Spring if I do this? Help!
