One of my customers has a rather overgrown Viburnum x bodnantense and she has asked me to prune it. I think it may be a little too late this year, although I am happy to give it a bash if not. I think I need to, at least, cut some of the older stems to ground level, but wonder if a hard prune of the whole shrub would be a good idea? I have read that this should be done over a couple of years so the flowers are not lost for a season, but advice is conflicting. Can anyone help? Cheers, Lesley.
