Cutting back fuschias

I have always left fuschias until Feb/March before cutting back and they have always grown beautifully lush the following season yet some people say do it now?? Interested in others views please.

 

Personally I'd do it in the Spring just as new growth starts, the old growth left on will to protect the plant a little from the winter weather.

If there are any tall growths that could cause wind rock then cut them back by half, also cut back any damaged growth to remove it but on the whole leave it until the spring would be my vote :thumb:

 

I would agree will Bilbo , just that some people like that nice tidy look ..

I am with Bilbo on this

I know nowt about gardening (just now)
Though each year I have been showing a bit of enthusiasm in the sprin and cutting my fushia TREE down to the ground and it has come back in wonderful shape
