What a gorgeous garden!!!You answered the exact question I had about tree form rose of Sharon!!! I'm retired and decided since I have always had excellent results propagating plants, I could make a little on the side by starting a small backyard nursery. From a couple of bushes that were in bloom on an overgrown vacant lot, I took about 4 very long branches and after preparing them to pot, I wound up with over 150 cuttings!! A week later, I happened to see a beautiful pink Rose of Sharon tree that had a trunk probably 10" in diameter. Yours is the only source on "limbing up" the bushes into trees that I've found! Thank you so much!!!!
You, Sir, have a very beautiful garden. Being a gardener myself, I know the many hours and dollars you have spent out there to get the gorgeous result you and your wife have managed to create.
First of all your garden and yard work beautiful I have Rose of Sharon I have been blessed with a lot of them. I like them growing wild looking running is good to their beautiful thank you I'm not bragging about having a lot of rose of sharon's I just been blessed with them God has blessed me with Again thank you so much for your video and thank you so much for the images of your yard is gorgeous
Gorgeous garden! Thank you for sharing all your lovely work. I took cuttings of a rose of sharon last fall and they rooted. I think they would be perfect trained as trees among my peonies. This was so informative and inspiring!
I needed this, thank you! Just ordered a couple of roses of sharon and was worried the locations I have for them are too small. But now I know what to do to turn them into small trees! Your garden is an inspiration, sir!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm about to get a 2yr old Rose of Sharon that I want to grow as a tree. Your garden looks & sounds absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much for your informative video. I ordered 2 Pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon but things in California due to our long growing season tend to get much bigger than the labels claim. I still want. them fairly tall but as large multi-stemmed small "trees". This should anchor the 2 back corners of my downward terraced yard. Looking forward to playing with these as they grow. I have already been doing something very similar with a couple Jeffers bottlebrush "bushes. They look amazing this way and seem to flower better and the trunks are becoming very tree like and hold up well to the gusty winds we sometimes get in our mountain & lake view area.
Thank you for explaining how to trim the Rose of Sharon. We have a lot of them! They are beautiful and easy to grow. One of our neighbors has figured out how to make hanging baskets out of them, so we're going to try a "bonsai" method on one of them. Also, I saw where someone made a topiary out of one and your method of trimming would allow us to figure that out. Thank you so much for the vid!
Beautiful garden and I thank you for all the different Rose of Sharon shapes. I'm going to trim my mother's 30 yr. old Rose of Sharon and this video has helped tremendously. Thanks
I pruned one of mine to 3 main, then braided them when young. Its thriving. Im a hairstylist 😂 so even braid my plants, and live giving everything regular ' haircuts' 😂
If got one braided myself. If you’ll scar each side where they touch you’ll end up with one plant. I’ve seen this happen in nature where a white oak fused together with an eastern hemlock and it became a large hemlock tree. 53 years as a forester I’ve seen many strange things in nature
i finally figured out what tree is growing outside my grandmas house, she told me along time ago not to let anyone cut it, she told me what type of tree it was but i had forgotten after she passed away i just knew it was a rose tree but didnt know they start off as a bush, i thought the growth was stunted but i guess i just need to prune it back, amazing garden and great knowledge thank you
Your idea to make Rosa Sharon into trees like a lollipop tree is awesome and I think it would be very good for a small garden because you could layer plantings. I love the cleome and I think the way you have the 68 foot trees. You could put the Komi under them. Thank you very much. I enjoyed your garden.
I always come back to this video. It is an absolutely beautiful garden. I want to train my rose of Sharon to be a small tree for my small garden. I’ll be coming back!
Came across your video while I was getting our Rose of Sharon ready for spring and I just want to say...what a beautiful garden! Well done, sir! I aspire to have one like yours one day.
This was a great video, thank you! I have been trying to slowly prune a crepe myrtle bush into a tree and suspect your techniques on the Rose of Sharon might apply to my tree. (I also have had trouble finding this type of information on pruning from bush to tree in the past so I really appreciate the video.) Our neighbor has some Rose of Sharon and they truly bloom a very long time. Beautiful flowers and beautiful garden!
Thank you! I let mine grow as a hedge between my neighbors yard and mine. She has given me numerous volunteers and now I want to grow some as topiary. You've been very helpful! I love your gardens! You and your wife have done a beautiful job.
Moon Catcher thanks ai enjoy every aspects of gardening except dealing with weeds. But that’s part of it . Thank god for weed eaters ,mulch, and roundup
Thank you for this video. I’ve 😉been searching on how to turn my “Althea” or Rose of Sharon from a crazy bush into a tree, like Grandma had in her yard. Yours is the only one I’ve found. Very helpful.
Just literally bought my first Rose of Sharon, in the dormant stage and isn't showing any signs of growth. I plan on planting it after the last frost, to avoid any possibility of damage caused by the cold on new growth. The garden tour was beautiful, and the pruning tips are very valuable to know and to do, thanks.
This is a video I had been looking for. I just bought three of them. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. Your gardens are amazingly beautiful!
Thanks for posting this! I am interested in pruning a few of my rose of Sharon’s into tree form, and this is the best info I have found. Loved your garden, too!
Go for it. I just planted a new variety yesterday Magenta r.o.s. I’ve got white blue and pink chiffon. This is a cool looking magenta colored chiffon. It is small ,not to costly. Looking forward to blooms maybe this year
What an amazing garden. I just bought a purple and rose color Rose of Sharon. I love the way you shaped the bush to be tree form. It actually makes the garden looks neat and tidy. Love it!!! Thank you for the inspiration. I will try to shape mine to be tree form too this fall.
omG! My eyes are BLOWN by this garden! I came across this video just kind of surfing around and never thought I'd see anything so beauitful!!!!!! If I can get my garden looking like this by watching your videos, I'm subscribing right now!
Enjoyed your video, every spring I pinch off the suckers at the bottom of the plant, I go higher than what you go , mine has a single stem for about a foot and a half then it branches out, which I think it gives more of an interesting look, Glad I found your video, as you said there's no videos on RUclips that tells you how to make one into a tree! You are appreciated 👍
Let me tell you. The experience you show is unbelievable. You walk the talk. I never had a grand father your family most love you so much. I learn lots. Be paciente, work with what you have. God bless you and your wife rhe pruning patner for life.
Thanks. I think I’ve developed a pretty deep understanding of why plants thrive and why they don’t. That’s pretty much the only reason I still do consulting forestry work. I enjoying sharing it
Really good information and ideas for different ways of pruning these plants. I live in the S.W. of France and these plants cope very well with the heat and dryness of summer while also accepting the cold of winter. You have a really beautiful garden, thank you for sharing. You have given me plenty of planting ideas also. I will be watching this again and again.
Wow! You’re garden is amazing. I have a white chiffon Rose of Sharon that I wanted to train into a tree. It hasn’t been going well. You’ve inspired me to give it another try.
Sorry but I think I’m out of video business. If it was a once or twice a year project I would probably do one. But it’s a ongoing process that I actually enjoy usually except when the ladder comes out I have found out that you can prune them from 10 foot to 2 foot with great results I’ll likely do more of this in the future. It’s a good time of year to be a gardener
Your garden is so beautiful, it was lovely to have a tour. I am trying to make my rose of sharon into trees as well. Most of the videos are all about making it a wide lush bush. I loved your insight to cut back to one stem and trimming the top. Mine are flopping all over with the weight of the blooms. Not stubby enough!! I will get pruning in the fall. I hope to have mine look like yours in a few years.
Elizabeth Liston I’ve had the best bloom year ever with all the summer rains. The stoutness of the trunks were a godsend. These less stout got so bent over that I’ll have straighten them up with small fence posts or rebar till they get stouter. Keep up the good work
Breathtaking garden. I could sit in that garden listening to the birds and taking in all the beauty of nature. You should be very proud of all your hard work.
Hi! We are about to plant three rose of Sharon and looking for all the information we can. Your video has been very helpful. We have a few years gardening and have fallen in love with gardening. We hope to one day have such a beautiful garden like yourself sir and your wife. Thanks for sharing such beauty.💚💚💚💚💚💚
GARDEN OBSESSIONS thanks for the nice comment I can see your digging gardening as much as me. Keep it up . Learning is where the real joy is. Best of luck. A short note roses have been a very tough thing for me Starting over I would have not got so all in as I once was. To me there are better plants to focus on that require much less care and more satisfaction. Keep up the good work you’ll get a ton of satisfaction from your endeavors
I have one that has been long neglected in my yard. I too had a problem finding info on pruning to tree. In my case it was pruned by my dad to a tree but it has go floppy and was afraid to prune. Very informative and what a gorgeous garden!
Your garden is stunning. I LOVE Rose of Sharon. I have about 35 in my yard but they need help. This is THE FIRST video on how to prune as a tree. Thank you! So informative. Now to start cutting. Can I cut after blooms are gone in fall?
I have lots of them too, and I like to prune/trim, them after they have dropped all their leaves, so it is easier to see where all those branches are going, or have already gone.. :) They are the loveliest, hardy, trouble free plants !!! Good luck with your garden !
Thank you!! I started shaping a rose of sharon bush into a tree about 3 years ago - so far so good as it's in our small city lot front yard. I greatly appreciated your video--beautiful garden and particular appreciation of the species.
Thanks for this video! Your right there are not any videos on how to make them trees. We planted one last year and I’m struggling to prune it and figure it out! It’s super floppy! Your garden is gorgeous
I bet you have a crap load of bees lol!! Beautiful garden!! I may have missed it..can it be pruned any time of the summer? As it's almost July, Michigan, so not too hot.
Mrs Sonja Stefanovski thanks. The first thing they teach in forestry school that the practice of forestry is both an art as well as a science. I think the same is true of gardening. Any time you’re dealing with a mixture of soil, oxygen, and water science can only take you so far
Beautiful garden!! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Thank you Tim. We have just moved into our new home and I found a Rose of Sharon so your advice has been extremely useful. Thank you once again.

First of all your garden and yard work beautiful

Wow! I am so jealous of all your Rose of Sharons!!! Such a beautiful and peaceful garden!!! Thank you for sharing💜💜💜
What a breathtaking garden! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
Magnificent garden! Thank you for showing the different ways to prune and trim, especially into trees! That's exactly what I needed!
WOW! You have created an amazingly beautiful garden. I would never go inside! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you so much for your informative video. I ordered 2 Pink Chiffon Rose of Sharon but things in California due to our long growing season tend to get much bigger than the labels claim. I still want. them fairly tall but as large multi-stemmed small "trees". This should anchor the 2 back corners of my downward terraced yard. Looking forward to playing with these as they grow. I have already been doing something very similar with a couple Jeffers bottlebrush "bushes. They look amazing this way and seem to flower better and the trunks are becoming very tree like and hold up well to the gusty winds we sometimes get in our mountain & lake view area.
I bit the bullet and pruned them very hard last fall I was nervous about outcome but I worked out great. They look very good this year
Such gorgeous gardens. Thank you for the great video.
Thank you for explaining how to trim the Rose of Sharon. We have a lot of them! They are beautiful and easy to grow. One of our neighbors has figured out how to make hanging baskets out of them, so we're going to try a "bonsai" method on one of them. Also, I saw where someone made a topiary out of one and your method of trimming would allow us to figure that out. Thank you so much for the vid!
I’ve had a lot of success with bonsai on ros the last few years. No more using a ladder on what used to be the big ones
Beautiful garden and I thank you for all the different Rose of Sharon shapes. I'm going to trim my mother's 30 yr. old Rose of Sharon and this video has helped tremendously. Thanks
Your garden is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing! God Bless!🌱😊
Wonderfully helpful video - thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! Spectacular garden 💜💜💜
I pruned one of mine to 3 main, then braided them when young. Its thriving.
Im a hairstylist 😂 so even braid my plants, and live giving everything regular ' haircuts' 😂

Lynn Tanubrata Thanks. And good luck
I love your gorgeous garden and I love the way you talk about it. It's like learning from a pro. Thank you so much. When can I plant Rose of Sharon?
Best if planted when dormant spring or fall. However a well potted plant can be planted anytime except winter.

Just what I was looking for ❤🌹
Thank you for sharing your very lovely garden and sharing your pruning technique!
Beautiful gardens! I love all the cleome!
Absolutely breathtaking garden. He so casually shares his expert advice and his world class garden !!
Thanks. I think I’ve developed a pretty deep understanding of why plants thrive and why they don’t. That’s pretty much the only reason I still do consulting forestry work. I enjoying sharing it
Something has been devouring mine. I just put a netting type barrier over them today. Wow they are so beautiful!
Your flower garden is beautiful. Reminds me of my dad’s yard!
Thanks
Really good information and ideas for different ways of pruning these plants. I live in the S.W. of France and these plants cope very well with the heat and dryness of summer while also accepting the cold of winter. You have a really beautiful garden, thank you for sharing.

Linda Gear glad you liked it and got some useful ideas. Good gardening
Lovely Garden, just so amazing!

Your garden is amazing. I have started gardening about two years.I have learned a lot from you . Thanks
Khinthu Zarsoe thanks. I just put up a new video yesterday

Dash Jeffreys Amen brother
Your garden is gorgeous. I just love the way you can still make her bashful. Endearing
She a doll and sweet as can be I’m a lucky man
What is that delicate-looking white purple pink flower bush amidst the rose of Sharon’s? It is eye-catching.
Your garden is so beautiful! I love all of the variance in color, height and textures! Have you rooted the things that you cut or pruned off?
Most of all my various perrinals are from cuttings. See my video on this
Wow! You’re garden is amazing. I have a white chiffon Rose of Sharon that I wanted to train into a tree. It hasn’t been going well. You’ve inspired me to give it another try.
ohiorn34 White chiffon is good choice. Red heart is tuff as hell and strong grower. Fuji is also a beautiful strong grower
Love your garden and your info is helpful. Would appreciate a video on your actual pruning of the Rose of Sharon.
Sorry but I think I’m out of video business. If it was a once or twice a year project I would probably do one. But it’s a ongoing process that I actually enjoy usually except when the ladder comes out I have found out that you can prune them from 10 foot to 2 foot with great results I’ll likely do more of this in the future.

I loved your insight to cut back to one stem and trimming the top. Mine are flopping all over with the weight of the blooms. Not stubby enough!! I will get pruning in the fall. I hope to have mine look like yours in a few years.
Elizabeth Liston I’ve had the best bloom year ever with all the summer rains. The stoutness of the trunks were a godsend. These less stout got so bent over that I’ll have straighten them up with small fence posts or rebar till they get stouter. Keep up the good work
Thank you for this lesson-- i like their flowers, but not so much the leggy, floppy look. Will work on it. 🌺 Your garden is beautiful 🏆👏
I pruned them VERY hard last fall. See the video and they are ding great now
Breathtaking garden. I could sit in that garden listening to the birds and taking in all the beauty of nature. You should be very proud of all your hard work.
Ruth Wuebbeling Well thank you. We’ve had a few nice days lately and garden work was a blessing. Also very easy to keep social distancing
Very informative and love the colors. I've always liked the tree shape look. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Vessel4Him thanks. They are in full bloom now nice to have such color late in year
Thank you! Your garden is magical! I WILL be checking out the garden tour!😊

keri april neff yes thanks. Don’t be afraid to whack it good. They are very tough and resilient
Your garden is stunning. I LOVE Rose of Sharon. I have about 35 in my yard but they need help. This is THE FIRST video on how to prune as a tree. Thank you! So informative. Now to start cutting. Can I cut after blooms are gone in fall?
Absolutely
I have lots of them too, and I like to prune/trim, them after they have dropped all their leaves, so it is easier to see where all those branches are going, or have already gone.. :) They are the loveliest, hardy, trouble free plants !!! Good luck with your garden !

Thanks alot
So pretty... Just bought a Pink Chiffon the other day, soooo beautiful...
Thanks for this video! Your right there are not any videos on how to make them trees. We planted one last year and I’m struggling to prune it and figure it out! It’s super floppy! Your garden is gorgeous
Don’t be timid. Prune the heck out of them. If not perfect try again next year you’ll figure it out That’s what gardening is about
I cam here to see how to shape Rose if Sharon into a tree. Saw the garden and forgot what I am here for. Outstanding garden!
That’s sweet. Thanks
Beautiful Garden your hard work sure does show! Thank you for all the information and advice. Greetings from Katy TX

Truly a beautiful garden
Thanks for your tips on pruning. You have a lovely garden
Kristy Feagley thanks. Good luck
Beautiful, love you guys!
Glad you enjoyed it thanks
I bet you have a crap load of bees lol!! Beautiful garden!! I may have missed it..can it be pruned any time of the summer? As it's almost July, Michigan, so not too hot.
I was taught to prune when the shears are sharp. Not bad advice. Stops procrastinating
I really like the tree look of the Sharon's! Mine look so scraggly. I think I'll give this a try. Thank you for sharing this tip :)
Good luck. It’s fun and hopefully rewarding
Incredible garden.
Wonderful garden setting. The art of gardening. God bless.
Mrs Sonja Stefanovski thanks. The first thing they teach in forestry school that the practice of forestry is both an art as well as a science. I think the same is true of gardening. Any time you’re dealing with a mixture of soil, oxygen, and water science can only take you so far
