cutting bottlebrush

Question

If I cut a bottle brush right back to a large single trunk, will it survive? We have a large, but spindly, bottlebrush that we would like to become fuller to look like a bush rather than a small tree but I’m worried if I cut it right back to the trunk that it will not survive.

Answer 1

Early spring would be the time to prune your Bottlebrush.
