How to Make a Hibiscus Weep

0

Question: I have searched Stan’s book, “Florida Gardening” and the Internet and haven’t been able to locate instructions on: How to prune a Weeping Hibiscus (WH.), to make it weep.  My WH. is 10 yrs old and has multiple leaders and cross branches. Can you offer any insight?

The weeping hibiscus should naturally weep, but that being said I would cut out the dominant branches and any branches crossing each other. You want to be certain to make a clean cut as close to the main stem or branch as possible. No doubt with the recent cold spell nature may have made some of these decisions for you.
