Pruning an established Choisya

Choisya are firm garden favourites that are relatively undemanding in terms of maintenance. They can be depended to put on a showy display of white flowers in spring. They are one of those plants that can put on a lot of growth particularly in a sheltered location. They are tolerant of quite hard pruning once established provided that the plant is healthy and growing strongly. Once flowering has finished, a light prune will encourage a second flush of flowering in autumn. 
if plants have been pruned more severely, an application of a Potassium rich fertiliser  will help to ripen wood and improve the frost resistance of young shoots. 

Now this specimen of Choisya x dewitteana 'Aztec Pearl' has finished flowering, it can be pruned if required.
