Pruning an unruly Acacia baileyana
Comments (2)If they are bending over in one direction you need to lighten that side so the growth on the other side pulls the tree more upright. I'd hire a professional arborist to do it right. Since the trees are still quite small it shouldn't cost that much....See MoreOut back and over the top
Comments (15)Thanks for your concernes happyhoe. From my prospective I never intended to design, plant this garden and just set on it. I am continually redesigning adding and relocating plants to different areas of the garden. Most conifers are dwarf or narrow uprights such as Picea abies 'Cupressiana' Yes I do have some big players on the outer fringes of my design. Heck, I wake up in the middle of the night with a new idea and am out there the next day implementing the change. This hobby has developed into a full time job which I enjoy. The rewards are many, disappointments are few. I haven't found anything to top it. Dave...See MoreWeeping Cherry tree

Comments (15)do you want a tree form.. or an ugly shrub ... if you cut it lower.. you will end up with more of a shrub ... unless you spend years removing back down to one leader.. in essence.. regrowing the trunk you seems intent on cutting off ... snip the top at 45 degrees ... and ignore it for a few months.. then start re3moving a few of the branches.. ultimately shaping it into a pleasing form ... it will be just a plain old redbud... no weeping .. if you look at what was cut off .. yo will not the perfectly straight trunk.. including what is left.. and then all of a sudden.. it squiggles .. and never grows straight again .. that is where the graft was ... ergo.. it gone.. and no.. you cant root what was cut off ... i suppose anything is randomly possible.. but i highly doubt it will happen ... but a decent pair of pruning shears.. and keep us posted.. and we will help you guide it on its new path in life ... ken ps: at least you didnt snap it off yourself.. lol... been there.. done that ... pps: i wonder if you cut it clean.. and put it in water.. if you could force bloom.. before it dies ..???? .. its about time you could do that with forsythia in the house ......See MoreHU-413767407
