Pruning Rose of Sharon:  

Although naturally a multi-stemmed shrub

this plant can be trained through pruning 

(in late winter) to have simply one main trunk.

Some people refer to it as rose of sharon "tree."

It's easiest to give rose of sharon its desired shape 

by pruning it accordingly during its first two seasons. 

Don't forget about all the babies - Gather them up

 and plant them - and give them away or sell them 

I also saved all the "sticks"

to build a NEW garden project - that I will talk about 

building a stick house - for pole beans to climb up on

get outside

get your hands dirty
