Ipomoea

If this shrub is chopped back hard, will it come good or just stay bare. At the moment it is around 10 foot high but doesn't have even any leaves on its low end. Would like to know if it will come good.

RE: Ipomoea

Is this I carnea? I've only had one experience growing it, and mine did get a bit leggy. Pruning would certainly stimulate some new shoots, but I'm not sure how hard you can go.

I'd be inclined not to do the whole shrub, try a few canes to start with and see how it reacts. Also, take cuttings, it strikes pretty easily.
