I have a gorgeous and obscenely healthy ceanothus of the low growing

notions of world domination, and is in the process of crawling over
everythign else. I would like to prune it but am not sure how or when.
any advice?

How large is it?

Ok - this is just spooky... I have already answered this question, and
my guess is that for reasons I can't quite figure out, my reply was
posted all over cyberspace... except urg.... (All weird newsgroups
pruned from this reply)

Here I go again: the ceanothus is about 1.50m in diameter by about 40
to 50 cm high. I note that I'll have to wait till next year to clip it
gently after flowering.
It is a damn pity, because I was looking forward to a week end of
secateur wielding, ending with a tidy garden and a pile of shredded
bits to add to my compost heap :-(

Thank you all, in any case :-)
