Texas Gardening: Upright Rosemary, 1 by

Sorry, I stink at explaining things. It's nothing simpler then a top heavy stem, all the weight pulls the stem down. You have to prune the plants to keep them looking dense., when actually there is no foliage in the centre of the plant.

I bought this rosemary as a 4" pot, it's 8' across. There is no foliage on the inside of the plant, if i don't trim it soon, all the weight will go to one side and it will look like it's dead in the center. I've hacked away at it for over 12 years, top and sides.
