HAVE: Last fall posting, a variety, all must go
Comments (8)Hi Foster, Can you send me pics (the plant for sure, and flower if you can) to gcbarry at optonline dot net. As far as the flower goes, pics are nice, but if no pics, is yours the greener variety or the one with more purple? I can then reply to you with my pics. Mine are smaller, so I'm very willing to trade a few for a single larger. Thanks! Carolyn...See MoreMoved roses last fall-could I have planted too deeply?
Comments (10)Do they show some growth? Leaves? Green cane? If so, then I don't think I would disturb them again. They are probably just building roots instead of top growth. That is good. If you lift them now, especially if you only "lift" them and do not replant, you will disturb the roots again and possibly introduce air pockets around some of the roots. Not good. If by fall you do not see growth, then next spring I would dig them up and replant. I have never had a problem with planting too deep....See MoreIs the maple I planted late last fall OK????
Comments (2)I bought the tree from a well respected nursery. The other trees I bought from them are doing OK but they were balled and burlaped. They do irrigate their trees. The pot seemed to be in good condition and there wasn't any visible damage on the tree. That's all the background I have. I can't really get out to the tree right now to see how wet the ground is but I'm sure its getting plenty of water, just not the once a week deep watering that is recommended. Hmmm I wondering if its because of the severe root bound it had. Do trees planted in the fall usually take off in the spring or do they sometimes stuggle like this to get going? In the future I think I'll make sure to buy trees before their leaves drop. Thanks for the help Ken....See Morehave: mag 2011 fall swap: plants you have
Comments (6)I need to find a new home for 2 large (5 foot) grapefruit and avocado trees that are in large pots ASAP. They want some TLC and a sunny location inside for the winter. PLEASE email me right away if you can give them a home. I can bring them to the swap or to your house if it is nearby.
