1 Comment To "If Mature 8’ X 8’ Silver Thorn In Full Sun Is Cut Back To 4’x4’, Will It Live?"

It is considered invasive in some areas, so it has a will to live. It can be hard pruned if it gets out of control. It is best to shape it by removing selective branches rather than shortening all the branches.
