Escalonia is good for a hedge. I had one in my previous garden

is it safe to give it a good haircut, its getting too tall where it is really...?

Just keep cutting! I have one and have to prune lots off to keep it under control.

thanks, will do then. Didn't want to do any damage as its right in front of our front steps and door so would be really obvious. Had better get chopping then!
