| Hello all,
New to Garden web. I've got a question for you. Has anyone seen / heard of a Weeping Rose of Sharon? I have one in my yard that started from seed. It's branches have a drooping/weeping habit. I prune it back every year. The weeping branches aren't from the weight of the flowers, they start growing that way well before buds start forming. Other than having a shaggy look to it, it appears to be quite healthy |

| Was it doing this before you started the annual pruning? |
|
| Now that I think about it I don’t think it’s always been this way. We did have the brick wall that it grew up next to power washed 5-6 years ago. There also has been some pointing done on the building. Perhaps some chemical got into the soil. I guess the best thing for me to do is to root some cuttings elsewhere & see how they grow. |

| I think it's due to the way you are pruning it. |

| I don't think it's the pruning, especially since it grew from seed. I think it's a very interesting form and if it persists, I'd prune it as a standard. |
