Safe to cut fuscia in June?

    Hi,

    I pruned my fuscia heavily in March but it's already taking over the side wall of my garden, preventing the small plants near it from growing.

    Would it be ok to prune it now?

    Thanks

    You'd be hard pressed to kill most shrubs pruning them now, and Fuchsia is probably one of the hardiest, you will however lose the the flower buds already formed although it will produce more around mid July if pruned now.
