I have a row of natives in front of my house - mostly melaleucas,
callistimons and pittosporums which have to be cut back to preserve my
ocean view.  When is the best time to do this?

Thank you. I was getting a bit depressed, having struck the problem

Us sensitive new age guys need encouragement.
Although I'm starting to be devious too!
Sometimes the chainsaw seems a great alternative.
Pity the guys at the local Model aircraft club who chainsawed the plants
blocking the view of the members, and the chaps who planted them. There
was hell to pay.
