Would I ruin a Corylus avellana "Contorta" if I prune it so hard that it

effectively been coppiced some time between now and just after New Year's

Seems a pity, to coppice it just before the only time of year when it
looks good.

I'd be worried that when it re-grew it would only produce straight
sticks. Mine seems very keen on throwing up straight stems from the
bottom.

More undesirable news {:-((
