We have recently moved to a new house - with a new garden. Part of the fence has blown over in the strong winds and needs to be replaced.
There are three tall (2.5m) Cornus alba (possibly Sibirica) encroaching on the fence and it would be good if these could be pruned before the fence is done. Would there be negative consequences if I pruned them back hard now already? (RHS suggests Feb/March for pruning.)
Have I understood correctly that I should just cut all the stems down to 5-7cm from the ground?
