IMHO, the best way to prune these weeds is to dig them up and throw them
away!

I planted red tipped photinias around the perimeter of my back yard 20
years ago as a privacy screen. They have done well and are very bushy
from chest high and higher but the bottom 3-4 feet of each plant is
bare trunks now and no longer provide much privacy. I'm considering
sawing one of the trunks of each plant a few inches above the ground.
Will new branches sprout and bush out?
