My Rose of Sharon seems to be doing very well this year. Last year I had put a good deal of mulch around the bushes and had done this the year before. Maybe that was a contributor of the loss of the 3rd bush. I even have sprouts this year! I have been waiting a long time to see them!
Would you suggest that I leave the sprouts where they are or move them so there is less crowding? Also when should I prune it back to control height? Should I prune off small branches low on the trunk?
Thanks for any tips or suggestions. If you can recommend a book for me to get to learn how to take care of it I would also appreciate this.
