I would like to hard prune a Satsuki. What's the best time to hard prune a
Satsuki? I am in zone 7 - Portland Oregon, and fall has just arrived.

The Back story - This was given to me by a club member 3 years ago. It was a
stump with branches poking out at all angles.



I have identified a single branch that will become a trunk, and some side
branches - as you can see this will require a very hard pruning of the
existing foliage - leaving a huge base compared to the single remaining
trunk - highlighted in yellow.



What do you think? Do it now, or wait till spring?
