I Have A Walker’s Weeping Caragana Bush I Planted A Few Years Ago. It Looks Like A Siberian Peach Shrub Is Growing Underneath I

Question

t. Are these two separate bushes that just happened to be growing together even though I thought I only purchased the Caragana?

Answer 1

Since the top, weeping, part is likely grafted onto a hardy rootstock (The Siberian is a common graft for the weeping kind) It can shoot up growth of its own. This can be normal, but it can be a sign of stress as well.
