Wow I hope mine have survived the winter. They are in the cold GH. Do you have to cut them down or just leave them to get on with it

I only cut ours back if the tips go 'soggy' Then only back just above a leaf, joint or bud. I have seen them grown as trees in Spain, but with our climate they do not get very tall, mainly because the tips get frostbite.
