Q.Weeping Tree Pointing Towards The Sky
Hello there…we bought a Prunus yedoensis Ivensii Patio Tree tree in March 2023 and its come on in leaps and bounds, however this year, the branches are turning more towards the sky instead of “weeping” which is why we bought it. Can you help as to why?

I see! Thank you for the photo. I can get a better look. It could be one of two things. Or a combination. This site needs, at least, 6-8 hours of full sun. Lack of sun may cause stretching upwards. Another thing to consider is the age of the tree. It is still pretty young. This small of a tree may take some time to develop growth heavy enough to droop.
It does look like the original tree, and not the root stock coming up.
Here is an article that will give you more information on their care:
