    Maintenance Notes: 

    The narrow habit of the Pillar rose of Sharon series means they create few to no branches, so little to no pruning is required. If you want to prune it, do so in early spring. In areas that experience snowfall, avoid planting it where it might be dumped on by snow falling off of the roof - yours, or your neighbors.
