No they don't mind being pruned at all.

Mary thanks for your answer, so I definitely won't kill them by constantly cutting the tops off them?
Cheers,
Barbara

No Babs you won't kill them by pruning them back but once you have them at the height you want, then it's best to cut off new growth at the base of the stem as they appear rather than let them harden into wood. My trees are in pots and I'm constantly cutting them back. Orchards keep their trees at a convenient height for harvest as well.
