Red-tipped Photinia
Our future home has huge overgrown red-tipped photinia lining the back fence as a privacy screen from the two-story house behind us. I want to try to prune them into a more tree-like shape, but I'm not sure how to do it (aside from just going to town with the loppers haha). Any tips? Can I even prune them into this shape, or is that shape only attained by training them as they grow? Here's what they look like right now (sorry for the quality, these were just what I had on my phone, I didn't specifically take pictures of the photinia...the second ones were what I sent my FIL after we mowed the backyard):
