    Hi All,

    Hope I'm posting these questions in the right forum section. I love the look (and intense scent) of my Lonicera Fragrantissima in Winter and Spring, but I'm never quite sure what to do with it in Summer and Autumn. The branches at the top always look rather awkward and it never seems to 'fill out'. Should I leave them be or give it a good trim? It also sheds the occasional lower branch, but this doesn't seem to affect its health. Is it normal for them to do this from time to time? Has only happened twice and it has been there for 4-5 years.

    Thanks,

    Nick
