Bare Spots On Weigela Branches

Question

I have some bare spots (no leaves) on most branches of my weigela that I planted last year. The bare spots are toward the top. There is a lot of green leaves, a ton of flowers, but I am just wondering if the bare spots are normal or…?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.

It could be something as simple as a need for pruning, which should be done in Spring.

Here are some articles to help in the meantime:
