What time of year would you advise me to coppice my Photinia in Melbourne as it has grown far too high.

Question

Am desperate to do this ASAP.

Answer 1

Photinia will tolerate hard-pruning about any time! Rejuvenate when the shrub doesn't color up like it should or when it looks overgrown or scraggley.
