- How to prune rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus). Rose of Sharon should be dormant pruned to remove crossing branches, branches that grow back into the shrub and branches that grow in the wrong direction.
If you give your rose of Sharon a little attention in the early spring it will flower best for you. This how to prune rose of Sharon video has all the hibiscus syriacus pruning information you need.
My dad planted a Rose of Sharon in the yard. He has passed away many years ago. The Rose of Sharon means a lot to me because of that. I have not touched it in many years it is so overgrown. I've been so intimidated to do anything with it. I am also from Connecticut so I appreciate you being from Connecticut. I now have the confidence to take care for my overgrown Rose of Sharon. Thank you so much for your video. Keep making the world look beautiful you have a great talent.
Rose of Sharon has a lot of seedlings. You may be able to transplant one of the seedlings to spread the memory.
On my so happy I found this ! My beautiful Rose Of Sharon’s are out of control and so tall they are flopping together ! Thank you very much for this informative video 👍
That intro was pure Tim and Eric. Loved it.
Detailed information that even a beginner can learn how to prune a Rose of Sharon. Thanks to the Expert!!
I was looking for how to overwinter my hibiscus and then I found you! I have a literal forest of Rose of Sharon in my yard and I love them. But, I've never really set my day aside to prune them. Come next year I'm spending a weekend pruning my Rose of Sharon ! Thank you so much for teaching me how !!
This was very helpful for me, as I inherited two bushes that are threatening to take over my front garden. There is s system to pruning and I think you demonstrated it very well, so thanks, neighbor!
Thanks for the great coaching and thanks too for looking out for the little robin family. So nice!
I'm so glad I found this. My rose of Sharon is getting more and more dense. It flowers profusely. Till now I've trimmed it down each year to keep it from getting higher than I could reach. Next year I'll be able to address the density.
Even when you cut the top of it in the fall does it still stay short for the time being until it grows taller?
@@memester1963 yes, till the following late spring
One of the best "How To" ever. Thank you. I am looking forward to cleaning up my messy bushes. I am also struggling with the reseeding and spreading. Augh
I dig mine up and donate them . Everyone loves free plants. 😊
I picked up few ideas in trimming and just now finish trimming plumeria bush so lower buds can receive sun. I'm in Honolulu. Your video helped me more than what I perused earlier. Thank you and Aloha.
Ahhh, all those east coast trees and bird songs remind me of home.
Me too!
I love this video not only because of your exceptional expertise but you care for nature I. E. Mother Robin and her babies. ❤ thanks so much. I have a ton of Rose of Sharon some 60 years old that are gorgeous and self seeding in the corners of my yard too.. But need pruning and get a little more under control. I wanted to prune now before they get any buds but maybe I'll wait until winter so I can see what's really going on inside..
Thank you! My mom's Rose of Sharon is out of control and I'll try but wish you could come over and give her a haircut. So cute about the robin and eggs.
I found it strangely touching when he showed the 3 eggs and mentioned the mom.
Me too 🥺
Absolutely. Very heart warming. Love it
Wow! Well done. I am a Master Gardener and I learned more thru your video. Thank you.
I was just given two rose of sharons by a neighbor and I had no idea they could get this big. Glad I found this video!
You're a great landscaper, but more importantly, you're just a really nice guy!
Thanks Meredith. You made my day! :-)
Made mine too! That was so nice!
Very clearly explained and some nice personal touches. Thanks.
I love the branch up your nose 😂. I usually get a branch in the eye!!! I now have a large collection of safety glasses 🌿💗🌿
Thank you..saved this for a year and finally my Sharons look good!
Very nice tutorial...
Great video with much needed information. My Althea's are getting crazy. If it stops snowing by April, they are all getting a spring trim. 🌿
Thanks for the tips I am dealing with my first rose of sharon in which came with our house. It fell over recently and I am learning a lot.
Thank you for sharing your expertise in pruning a rose of sharon. It was good.
Thanks Ann.
I was told in in the early 50's when my grandfather came back to the dairy farm and build hi BIBill house these were the most affordable tree/shrub. Mine are in tree form but I Bonsai and propagate the millions of unkillable seedling. A spring after sprouting they are about 2 ft natural spear straight and great for bonsai or a hedgerow.
Thank you for all the excellent details and zoom-in shots. This video was most helpful. I've just completed my pruning tasks in Manassas, VA, and will await the new blooms.
Smart bird! She picked a protective Holly!
I’m going to prune my R of S today. I might have to get a wee bit brutal on it. It’s huge and gives too many seedlings. Nobody wants even one.
Old Lyme, CT here!
Thanks for an excellent and well produced tutorial. I appreciate your time and clear explanations.
Great job 'before' and 'after'. The R.O.S. now appears more majestic, imho with its verticality and labor of love.
Awesome video! Thank you so much for showing how to prune the Rose of Sharon.
Thank you for posting this! We just moved to Lincoln, NE from Albuquerque, NM and have one about 8 feet tall in the back yard. I had no idea how to prune it, or maintain it, but now I feel confident I can do it properly.
I'm from Lincoln NE too! I love Rose of Sharrons I have 5 of them I've planted within the past few years but unfortunately not that big. I'd love to see that in person in full bloom being so big!! Do you have a love for flowers and gardening?
Thanks, and thanks for your concern for the Robin. It reminds me of the stone carving of a Robin and her nest at the top of a column in Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria, BC, which commemorates the builders halting construction in that area until the eggs were hatched.
Great video. When I trim my rose of sharon, I plant all the branches that I cut.
They will grow beautifully.
It is one of the strongest plants I know and hard to kill, for those who are not good at taking care of plants.
Something else that happened to ne last year was that I hsd so much seeds.
I tossed them pn the ground and I had so many new plants and they have new collors. It is amazing.
This season I have actually too many seeds. It bloomed beautifully but I have seeds all over.
Could make a lot of money with them if I had the time to sell them
Hi Joelina ! How did you plant the branches ?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. We moved into a house with a monster rose of Sharon bush! It seems to be similar to some old fashioned lilacs that I’ve pruned.
It was fun seeing the Robin's nest 💙
Wow, awesome job. I learned how to prune my rose of Sharon .Thx.
Thanks so glad I found your video and am in time to prune as its March in the UK and heading into Spring
Excellent. Your appreciation for nature in all its forms is clearly evident. Thank you & subscribed.👍
Wow! I did not know they grow up like a tree.
I thought it was a small growing bushes.
My son gave to me for mother's day (2021).
I'm not sure where to plant.
Not near the house.
It's a lot of work I see.
Your Information is very good.
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. My old Rose of Sharon needs pruning. I also have a young sugar tip one that has gotten too tall and is top heavy especially on windy day.
great video! great explanation
Thank you, My neighbor gave me a plant and I wanted to know where and when to plant it. Good video.
Great Video covering many aspects of pruning. Regards from Weimar Germany.
Mines needs pruning really bad but I'll have to wait until it goes dormant, Fast growing & really Beautiful when blooming..Thank you for this video..WELL DONE~
I've learned a lot at my older age thanks
Oh wow I never knew. I was cutting it all the way to nothing. And it still came back every Summer as big and beautiful as always . But my rose of Sharon doesn’t grow as huge as yours, mine is about 5’ tall at most and my branches are not as thick as yours . I do love this bush. The huge beautiful pink flowers. They close at night and open in daytime. Next to my beloved butterfly bush, my rose of Sharon is my favorite shrub. Now I know to not cut it so much anymore. I didn’t know. I feel so bad.
I have about 8 of these in my backyard and this video is exactly what I needed. I trim them a bit here and there but generally didn't know what I was doing. Going to get a saw like that too because some of mine are really bad.
It looks like it. Cut through the branches like butter.
Excellent video and explanations. I appreciate this very much.
Ahhh, the dreaded branch up the nose... good video!
I have a few of these and was wondering how high they can grow and yours are wow really tall ! They look great ! Mine are a few years in the ground, from 5-gal cans and they are easily 6+ feet tall and growing nicely.. I now know, thanks to you that my hibiscus bushes can grow way, way, up if I want them to, and that is great! Thanks for all the work you did on your hibiscus and the great video, editing, etc... It is a lot of work i am sure... Loved that little folding saw you used.. It was really sharp and that always makes the work go faster and easier...
I wish I had seen this video before I pruned our Rose of Sharon. We have a problem with our Rose of Sharon growing up and forsaking the lower branches, so it's looking very thin and gangly at the base so I cut the tree down by about 1/3 from the top to try and encourage it to 'bush up' rather than 'grow up' (hopefully). I'll have to go around it again in the Spring and do some more trimming based on your instruction here. Thank you!
*****
Thank you! We'll definitely go back to the shrub this late winter/early spring and do some final cleaning like the video instructed.
Joe & Joanne i
Excellent, and just what I needed! Thanks.
Great info and demo!! Thanks for sharing. I have one I got on clearance at Walmart years ago, I couldn't believe it even survived. But good grief, I wanted it as an ornamental type tree and the darn thing is as big as my crepe myrtles. I hate I can't do anything with it this year.
More gardening vids plz!
Thank you so much
This video was so helpful, thank you for sharing..
Great lesson. Thank you so much!
Thank you🎉
You're great, man! Thanks a lot for the help.
Explanation of a real Pro with a ❤️ for nature.
excellent video - I learned a lot, thanks!
Thank you. Would like to see it in the summer in bloom to see the results of your work in season.
Super helpful! Thanks for filming this.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Awesome video anybody can follow. Thanks
Lovely video thank you. It would be helpful to know which month you’re in and were you are in the world.
Very helpful. I just wonder if this pruning can be done in the Fall around the end of October?
My boyfriend bought a house last year and a friend of ours is giving me one of the pups off her own Rose of Sharon. I've already started tearing up the front of our yard to get ready for it next year, this is the first video I've found that explains it's pruning care in ways I can easily understand!! Do the pruned areas sprout new growth and how quickly? I've never had to prune anything (I just have my indoor pothos)
I wish you were in Masachuetts to help me. I have these bushes growing in my front yard. 6 all together. 3 down either side of my front yard. They are so out of control. I don't know where to begin. We were just going to use electric hedge clippers. Glad I came upon your video. I wonder if a regular landscaping company would know how to trim them back.
thanks for this great video, I have one that is about 3 years old...it's growing beautifully and I was wanting to shape. Can I prune it in th fall without damaging it for next season's flowering?
Leah, I have transplanted many times with much success. They are a hardy tree.
Thanks for showing it! I always read to cut down dead branches and crossing branches, but I inherited a garden (with years of no pruning for a lot of the shrubs, etc.) so this has been a learning process for sure! (Ours is flopping over in July and I wasn't sure how to start). I assume all these work for hibiscus double red althea as well
Thank you
There is something in my back yard that absolutely devours these things. One of mine finally made it tall enough (3.5 feet) that they might live to adulthood that may warrant conscious effort on my part to prune! 😃 One of them were taken all the way to the ground (it’s like I base of 4 chopped canes)... And the rest were eaten to about a foot and a half tall.
I wish they could be left alone long enough to grow tall enough that I would finally need to prune them.
Wow! That's intense. I just have Japanese beetles eating the flowers.
44 degrees the coldest winter🤣🤣🤣🤣 In Cleveland that would be the warmest temperature in winter.
Nice video though! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your help! I'm planting some this spring but wanted to know how to care for them. I LOVE your pruning saw!
Looks like the Felco 600.
Thank you for the video. Could you add a link for the hand saw you were using?
Informative
That's a nice pruning saw that you are using! Would you kindly let me know the brand? Thank you!
I would liked to have known also.
Looks like the Felco 600.
Thank you so much for your excellent videos on pruning spirea and Rose of Sharon. I have both to deal with in our new home. I also have two smoke bushes that are now at least 10 to 12 feet tall...and need pruning too. Mu instinct is to do exactly what you did with the rose of sharon, but sure would appreciate your input!
Thank you!
Man that's a monster I hope mine get that big
They will!
Love your videos...so very helpful. I'm glad I watched your how to on pruning my tree hydrangeas...they have a massive growth of wild wood. I'll be having some fun! Also, when is the best time to transplant the tree type hydrangea's? I have a white one and a pink one.
I'd have to look that up. I've never transplanted a tree form hydrangea.
Very helpful video. I would like to know what kind of hand saw you are using. I use longer version and end up nipping branches that I don’t want to cut out. Thank you.
It's a Felco 600 pruning saw. I always keep one in my back pocket when pruning. You can visit my website for a link to the gear I use: www.landdesigns.com/ .
Thank you for your help.
Thank you for the helpful, detailed info. New sub. I just bought 2, it's averaging 30-40 degrees here in zone 8 in mid November. Should I plant now with starter fertilizer or keep in garage until spring? Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks YOU Tim!
Very helpful!
sweet soul who honored that mama bird, a quick question...can this be done in late fall - Nov/Dec after all the leaves have fallen?
Thank you so much! What kind of tool is this? Brand? I need one!
Thanks for the video! Big help
Glad it helped you.
Thank you Donnie Warburg :)
I’m a little confused now about my rose of Sharon! It’s more like smaller, individual sticks coming up, instead of his that looks like a big tree. Should I just leave my 4 sticks then?
!2" of snow on the ground can't wait to start pruning my Rose of Sharon. have always been afraid to start. You have given me the confidence to do it. Even if I have to take my lap top to the bush. It's highest point is about 10' and next to the driveway. Can you tell me the make of your pruning saw ?
Looks like the Felco 600.
How about a picture of how it looks with foliage?
I hoped to see it bloom.
Great pruning video! Would this pruning technique apply to crape myrtle and Cleveland ornamental pear trees?
You definitely know your plants and pruning! I have a rose of sharon that is already too tall (going into soffits) and needs to be pruned down in height about three feet now, before it grows another three feet. If I wait until it finishes blooming and then prune, will I lose next year's blooms? Thank you,
I read prune in late winter
We recently (last year) planted a row of rose of sharon (maybe 8) to become a hedge and I'm thrilled at how they are growing..... these were free branches (someone elses pruning I guess). But my question as they are blooming like crazy and love all the flowers..... can I cut them for a vase? and I read that they are edible..... would I just snip them off as they bud?
Thank you for such a thorough and detailed video . We just planted 10 three footers in a wood planter box across my deck as a divider from the neighbors . They look pretty healthy now and they are full in leaves . Is there any reason I wouldn't cut back straggly branches spring through summer. I want them to grow up but also meet each other eventually to create a screen . They are about 2 1/2 feet apart from each other
Thanks, I have a two trunk plant, each trunk 6 inches diameter and 15 feet high - how do I prune that ?
