how much we cut them back. They grow back each year stronger and if you don't
do a hard shaping and keep them under control they will take off on you! John gave you some great advice. Clean up the bottom and shape the top!

Thank you much. Probably I wasn't fair from the beginning by not adding that I am a total newbie in terms of gardening/plants.
Your advice for sure are both very good, but it's me who is...stupid.
When you say bottom I have understand where exactly. The same about the top, at what level starts/ends the top.
Could one of you be nice and mark these on the photos I uploaded please? What branch to cut, where to cut, when to do it etc.
Thanks in advance,
Q.T.
