heavinscent, i never pruned my murraya so to speak. i just had to keep whacking it to keep it under control. i trained mine into a standard and once the trunk got big enough it quit sending out babies all around the bottom. here is a picture. as far as the mother-in-law plant goes, i had a small one on a northwest bathroom windowsill years ago in st.louis, not the ideal place for any plant! i kept smelling something really good in there and couldn't figure out what it was, i thought somebody spilled perfume or lotion. finally one day i saw this bloom! years later when i moved to the keys, they grew wild all over the place and bloomed faithfully every year. walking down the drive to get the mail was pure wonder! ps. the picture i'm posting was taken from the second story of our house in the keys.
