Pruning a transplanted Lorapetalum

Transplanting Ten year old Lorapetalum bushes that have not been pruned for four years. These are over 7 feet tall. If a fairly large ball of roots are pulled up and transplanted to another location in the yard do I need to prune lightly, medium or severely, or not at all?

 

That would depend on the look that you are trying to achieve and whether it is starting to actively grow/bloom now. I would plan a light pruning for spring after the plants have finished flowering, otherwise, you risk cutting off the 2020 summer flower buds (which the transplanting may have zapped but I am not sure). Then leave the medium pruning for when it has gone dormant in late Fall 2021 or winter 2021-2022. They take well to regular pruning but some varieties are normally tall and others are dwarf-ish.
