Harvey,

I agree with Gabe that unless it is close to flowering, it will likely only have a short-term effect. I would think that if you go sparingly with the water this winter you could keep it from growing too much and keep it within the bounds you need. Also, I think the severe cut back we did on our Ae-Ae's is actually one of the things that induced them to pup so much. You may end up with a few pups out of this!
