Jasmine hedge pruning

Question

I have an overgrown, old hedge that is very woody. Can I prune it to the ground and start it over, or will that kill it?

Answer 1

You will not want to prune it all the way to the ground. This can harm it beyond repair. You can prune it pretty heavily, but I would leave something for it to regenerate from. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/jasmine/trimming-jasmine-plants.htm
