Hi,
I planted bout 10/12 Pyrocantha plants about 2 years ago now, and
they are about 4/5 feet high. I wondered about cutting them back to stop
them growing in height?? And if I do so will they then fill out/grow
horizontally?

Advice please

Thanks

You will loose all the berries though if you are too brutal

Cut back all new shoots in August and reduce the height in the spring is a
better idea ..........this way the hedge will thicken and you will retain
the berries all winter for the birds
