Lavender Twisted Weeping Redbud Problem.

Question

I recently planted a Lavender twisted weeping redbud bush, the problem is the lower half of the trunk is sprouting beautifully but the top half has nothing growing from it, is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

Uh oh. That sounds like the rootstalk is taking over and the upper part died at some point. You may want to replace it; the rootstalk won't be the same tree.
