That's doing well.

Unfortunately, this was taken a couple of years ago, Sticki - the poor thing suffered a bit in the bad winter and part of the centre has died - the rest is looking a bit dowly, and I'm hoping some brilliant Goyer is going to tell me how to give it the kiss of life. It's a bit too huge for the garden anyway.

Sorry, I like viburnams but I don't know much about them.

It can be hard pruned...by that I mean you can even take a chainsaw to it and take it to about 2ft and it will come back Gattina.

Round about when, Pims? Wintertime?

Late winter early spring I would say....Worth asking Bamboo to be sure. It will respond well and be a shame not to have it looking it's best..

I would hate to lose it, but it's uglifying it's space at the moment, and I should love to be able to re-animate it.

Can be done and back flowering the same year.

Hi Gattina, what kind of Viburnum is this?
It is beautiful!

I'm fairly certain it's a Viburnum tinus, Katarina, but I don't know what variety. There were very few flowers on it this year, but if I follow the advice Pimpernel has kindly given me, next year we should be back in business!

Do post some before and after pictures, Gattina!

Did you see that Lincslass cut her monster one right back last week Gatt.

You know, Mel, that's not a bad idea, but I shall end up with egg on my face when the whole darned thing dies! No, I didn't catch Lincslass's one. Is now a good time to do it? Everything here is a bit stressed anyway, witht the heat and the drought, and I don't want to discourage the poor thing further.
