Murraya paniculata (also known as orange jessamine or mock orange) is low maintenance and generally does not do well with too heavy pruning.
It is better to trim a little regularly in spring, summer, and autumn than to cut back too much just once a year.

When to Prune a Murraya Hedge
Lightly prune your murraya hedge regularly. Light pruning a few times a year is better than cutting too much at one go. Harsh pruning causes stress to your murraya plants.
If you are keeping murraya as a hedge, pruning formally is necessary.
You can prune your murraya hedge two to three times a year, once in spring, another in summer, and then again in autumn.
If you will only prune twice a year, prune in spring, and again in autumn after flowering. Pruning in autumn will encourage more blooms in the spring.
When pruning in spring, focus more on trimming at the top rather than the sides so that you do not cut away budding flowers.
What to Do with Overgrown Murraya Hedge
Leaving your murraya hedge untrimmed for too long will make this fast-growing plant look too unkempt in no time.
However, do not fret if you need to cut back a whole lot from your murraya hedge, especially if it has been neglected for a while.
Your murraya hedge will probably respond to a rare heavy pruning with more vigorous growth. So go ahead and trim it back, but remember to prune it more regularly in the future.
