pruning acacia cognata

| I've had a wonderful a.cognata that I decided was getting too woody underneath and if it grew any taller wouldn't look good, so I pruned it, taking off the top layers and thereby exposing the woody stems. It doesn't look great any more. Have I wrecked it? Do you think it will regrow underneath? the top of the plant looks fine but there doesn't seem to be any regrowth along the bare stems. Methinks I should have left it alone . |

| Prune off all the leaves to the same amount and it will reshoot. At least, every other acacia I've done that to has. It won't reshoot if there enough leaves elsewhere. |
