Weeping Pussy Willow Tree
Hello,
I live in a zone 8 (SC) still have pretty decent soil. I bought a small weeping pussy willow tree this year. It's doing well.....so well I have a question. The main trunk of the tree was around 20 inches tall, probably an inch inch 1/2 in diameter. I understand this is a miniature tree, and growth is slow (even for where I live). The tree originally had oh I'd say 6 branches that had been trained to weep. I have babied this tree, water and fertilized. It's very healthy. However it's got so many shoots coming out of it, it almost looks like a bush (I did check and the trunk is still there and in good shape). My question is am I supposed to cut all these shoots off or let them grow on out and weep too? I have been cutting on the tree as the branches hit the ground and spread out. I just know nothing about this tree, other than it won't get more than 4-5 feet high. I can not find any really useful info on the net about this tree, other grafting, which I don't need to do. I just want the tree to remain a tree and am at a loss on how to maintain it. Any info would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks and have a growful type of day Jo |
