Cutting back a pyracantha?

I’ve got a hideously neglected 10 year old pyracantha in my garden. I’ve just got rid of a shrub next to it which was obviously supporting the poor thing, it is about nine feet high with enormous offshooting branches and now teetering over my garden path. Obviously as it is a really thorny plant I am fearing for my family’s safety…

If I cut it back to the base will it regrow? Or where shall I cut it back to? How long will it take?

Step by step, please, as I am a “hack and you will die” type pruner!

Also, am I correct in thinking that I should wait until it is out of flower to attempt any pruning?

Thank you kindly!
Sorry, when I said “How long will it take?” I didn’t mean how long will it take to cut it back, I meant how long will it take to regrow to a decent size!!!!

Pyracantha is in the rose family…but unlike its more tender cousin the common Garden Rose it can be pruned very hard and will adapt….

You can prune them into topiaries and shape them as you wish….but remember this basic rule of pruning….you should ONLY cut off 1/3 of a plant in one cutting(one season)at once..and if you cut it back at the ground you will more than likely kill it…..you can safely prune the new growth each year back to 3-4 inches and 3-4 more inches in the fall(this will insure flower and fruit formation)

All that said……I would try and cut it back to around half of where you want it to be this fall and hope for the best….if it dies ….then so be it…if it lives ….follow my above instructions..

Good Luck!
