Should I prune my hibiscus?

I had a large catepillar who munched most of the leaves off the plant last fall. Is it still ok to prune? Will that help the plant grow more leaves?

You can prune for shape, but if the plant is in danger of freezing temperatures hold off. The new growth will get damaged by cold temps. This link has a lot of good information on hibiscus care:

Reply:I trim mine every Spring to keep it growing on a trellis. It gets a little leggy so be sure to trim down low enough.
Reply:Go ahead and trim your hibiscus and after prunning it, you might want to fertilize it soit can start growing a liyyle bit faster and much more healthier.

Mine was just like that and after pruning the plant grew better and flowered beautifully.
