Have several of these shrubs and they are really hitting their stride in growth. The lower branches root and grow even farther! How severely can I prune it, and what seasons have you been able to successfully prune them? (They seem pretty tough.)

They can be pruned pretty hard, but I wouldn't take them back too close to the soil line. Prune when they go dormant....but I have pruned mine in early spring as well.
