beautiful.
This year we would like to trim some of the older ones back a little further. Can I trim the older (2 - 3 years) back into the older growth? Will fresh growth still come from that?
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
You can trim them to about 2" over the older main branches. This should be helpful (5 cm is 1.97").
