    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to maintain the height of my styrax japonica (chinese snowball). They seem to be very popular and I suspect many people will have the same problem in a few years. Thanks, Monica

    maintain as in stop it from getting taller? it isnt a big tree to begin with but you can manage through selective pruning cuts to keep the size down. make proper pruning cuts ( branch collars etc) and it should be fine.
