I really don’t know much about plant care. Is it OK to trim new growth? This shrub is getting super unruly.

I can’t say for sure exactly what to do.
But was always taught to trim them back a bit of a time as too much could shock the plant.
But here’s some advice.

Yeah for sure. Just be advised the more you take off the more time it will take to recover.

Get a hedge trimmer and square that thing off. Hack away, it’ll grow back.

It will be fine but will look a bit thin until it grows in again.

Monty say just do it; watch out for birdies.

That’s what I was thinking, with the spring growth spurt it’ll fill back in much quicker. Just didn’t want to unintentionally stunt it is all.

Best case is to usually trim in the fall and never take more than 30%. You can certainly get away with more or trimming in spring, but you may shock or kill the plant.
