Actually if you want to make a weeping tree you want to keep the upward growth. If you look at most weeping trees in nature the branches do grow straight up, then when they get long and top heavy the branch droops. They usually go up from the trunk before "weeping". You want to take the upward growth and wire it down into graceful arches. FYI...
Here are my current attempts. A young weeping willow and a threadbranch cypress.
