This looks like a burning bush, turns red in fall, correct?

I have one burning bush at the street light and two against a fence next to the house. I prune mine severely every few years from 5-6 ft to keep it 3 ft high. You can cut each branch down to the last soft branches, but I noticed that new branches will also sprout from hard thick wood. Get confident by pruning this year only down so far that pieces of soft branches still exist, then do more next year.

You should prune before green leaves start. It will look first very bare, but will fill in rapidly 2 or so weeks later as usual.
