Skip Laurel
Comments (4)Planted 8 of them today. Spaced them on 6' centers, and added a small amout of peat moss. Planted them on a small berm , and they look great!!! However they were B&B and I just pulled the Burlap back as far as possible. Was told to add Hollytone in 1 month. Is that a good idea??? Steve1young are you saying to much water for these trees the 1 st week is bad, or a good rainfall would help??...See MoreHelp...skip laurel severed roots at plant base
Comments (1)Voles or gophers - I doubt a woodchuck would do so....See MoreSkip Cherry Laurel leaves brown and brittle
Comments (4)Looks like winter burn -- which is, in reality, a shortage of water or dessication of the leaves which occurs during the sunny, windy, cold spells in winter. You see this especially in plants exposed to a lot of winter sun. A number of Schip laurels grown in full sun were lost after the winter of 14-15 in my region (DC area). Keep your plant well watered this season, use mulch. If it has no tip damage, it should grow quickly this summer. These are best planted in early Spring (rather than Fall) up here so they get a toe-hold before the rigors of winter....See MoreRelocating moving skip laurels to a different spot?
Comments (9)it always helps to tell us where you ar.. big city name.. but generally yes.. right now is the time ... my usual suggestion is 6 to 8 weeks before the heat of summer starts to build in july or so ... you dont mention size when planted or any other relevant info ... but generally.. just dig them back out.. maybe 6 inches wider than the gob planted ... presuming you can move them based on size and weight ... it would be best to dig the new hole first to general size.. dig out the plant.. hoik it over there ... throw it in the hole ..... settle it in at proper depth.. run the house on it .. THEN backfill ... hose at half refill level .. then finish refilling ... and you probably wont have to water again until the heat of summer starts pulling water from deep in the soil ....once a month trickle water to water at root depth ... spraying the surface will be useless ... its will be stressed.. not hungry.. never fert a transplant .. except for the hard work.. this is no big deal ...its why they sell all these plants in spring ... because its time to move and plant them ... see link for this.. and planting the new stock .. ken https://sites.google.com/site/tnarboretum/Home/planting-a-tree-or-shrub...See Morelisanti07028
