Does anyone have experience bending rosemary branches? i have a 20y/o Rosemary that's gotten leggy - 1.5 a 2 ft long branches with foliage at the tips.

If not bending, how can I get growth closer to the trunk? Grafting?

Sunlight on the lower trunks will help in getting new growth in the plant. For backbudding you will need to let the branches grow wild though too. Branches will die off if you cut all the green off.

Thank you. I will take a picture of my rosemary tomorrow and post it. It gets more mid-morning to afternoon sun. Here are photos from 2 years ago.
