: Hi folks,
:
: We bought one of these a few weeks ago and have planted it very close
: to the house - about 6-7 ft away actually. It is about 5 ft high at
: the mo and looking very lovely. Now I know it won't get much bigger
: but have been reading on some other posts on here that it will seek out
: water and should not be planted near water pipes - Oh dear! Can anyone
: tell me if this will be real problem with this small type?
:
: Also how do I train it to weep? In one of the old posts someone has
: written that you have to train it to weep rather than just let it hang.
: I am especially concerned about this because I have seen what looks
: like a lot of these in other peoples gardens and they don't look very
: nice. They seem to be really full and hanging and look like a monster
: head type of thing and I don't want ours to end up looking like that.
:
: Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.

it does it's own thing but once it gets going you need to thin out some of
the branches right back to the main stem or it gets too dense to be any good
