Q.How do I get my weeping cherry tree branches to bend down
My tree has a new branch that is reaching up rather than weeping.

This should be removed. Your tree is a grafted weeping cherry and the branch that is growing upwards is a branch growing from the rootstock, rather than the weeping tree scion. It is best to remove it to discourage future upward growth.
