I've had bad luck cutting serissas back. Don't know why. I cut a branch, and it starts to die back slowly, from the tip that I cut. The leaves look like the leaves on the original picture of this post... crispy and dry. One branch dies, then another. Finally the whole tree gives up the ghost. Another serissa, that was from the same group but didn't get cut back, is fine. Same water, same soil, same everything except several got cut back and died, and one didn't get cut back and didn't die.

Did you trim your experimental serissa?
