Default Cutting back a Paulownia

Could anyone tell me when the best time would be to cut back a
Paulownia, Autumn or spring, we would liked to have let it get big
enough to Flower but it is outgrowing the space we have for it.


Neighbours Pawlonia is becoming more controlled after he "pruned" (read that
as hacked the f*** out of it with a pad saw!) it last autumn.

In first 2 years it grew steadily in all directions with leaves as large as
a sheet of A3 paper ! This last season it seems to have grown in a more
controlled manner and has yet to flower.

Some really good articles on the interweb about them.
