My brother (a horticultural expert) prunes his with a sheep crook whenever he is passing - hooks down the bits threatening to go out of control and simply knocks them off by hitting them with the crook! It does get proper pruning as well and he did once tell me how and when to prune to get a nearly as spectacular second flowering.
