Georgia Gardener

sent it into shock :-(

19 years ago

Gosh its been 4ever since I've been to these boards! Didn't do much planting last year as I was carrying around a big ole baby bump. Kinda makes it hard to maneuver around in the garden. Well I'm pregnant again but determined to do what I can in the yard before I get too big! LOL

So heres waht I've done. I have a 2 yr old pitosporum (sp)that I decided to move this weekend and now its all droopy leaved. I've watered it daily since moving it. I tried to get all the roots but I did break some unfortunately. I'm wondering what you think it's chances are? TIA

Well it's a goner if you keep watering it every day. I would water it thoroughly once a week from here on out and just let it adjust. If it is only two years old the roots shouldn't have been that big yet. If it is in hot afternoon sun you may want to shade it a little while we go through this hot spell. then just let it adjust itself. Time is the best thing for it.

I figured I should probably lay off on the watering but at the same time thought I should keep on watering it to help the roots, well, root. But I will give it a break and water once a week. Thanks so much for answering me!
