Default Identifying and pruning a tree.

Boggle! Hibiscus syriacus? If so, I don't know how you prune them

sorry.

If you go to the search engine www.google, click "images" on the row
above the box, write our ID suggestions in the box, click search, you'll
get pictures and can tell us if they match.

Hibiscus is a good guess - but Andy H beat you to it!! I checked it against
some pictures on the RHS website. They also say now is a good time to prune
it.

One further question - the also say that it is best suited to being West or
South facing. Yet I have the smaller one North facing. Is it possible to
move it to the South side? Or is it best to leave it be? It would look
better on the south side as well and would seemingly grow better, but I
would rather leave it be than risk killing it. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
David.
