I have a 12 year old camellia in a tub. It has flowered well, is beginning to put out new growth.However, over recent years it has become leggy with lots of bare patches, and less foliage than before. In my view It needs pruning. Can I do this now wnen the last of the flowers have gone, can I take the top off?
