I would like to cut off about 2 feet because it is to overgrown. Will it grow back
Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners,
The simple answer to your questions is yes, you can cut them and they will re-grow. Ideally, this should have been done earlier in the year while the trees were dormant – late winter/early spring, but don’t despair, you can prune your cedars now.
Below, is a link to a previously posed question to the Toronto Master Gardeners on a slightly different problem but the information included is appropriate to your situation. Included within the answer, there is another link to a video by Sean James, a well respected garden professional and Guelph Master Gardener, that should give you the confidence to proceed.
