I let my Hardy Kiwi get out-of-hand by forgetting to properly prune it. Unfortunately, it has already broken dormancy and the usual recommendation is to only prune when dormant. If I prune now, it will bleed. But it's way to big and it's blocking the step from the deck.
My "better half" is so fed up with the thing he wants it gone. Is there any way I can go ahead and prune it now without killing it?
I suspect that this one is the male, because it is much more vigorous than the female. I could post a pic if necessary.
Thanks for any advice.
