Last fall I did a quick and very dirty job pruning a Texas Ranger, and by spring it obviously needed some restorative pruning. DH hates the idea of cutting them all the way back so they regrow properly, so I tried to give it a "thinning" treatment where I'd take out the worst of the problems and (hopefully) fix its shape back to what it should have been.
Well, the results are not so good. In some places it worked--regrowth at the ends was in line with the original branching, the shape was symmetrical and the end result was pretty natural looking, only about a foot smaller in size.
