Annabelle

13 years ago

Hubby built a fence and totally trampled my Annabelle (2 of them) Literally laying on the ground with broken branches. If I cut them back to the ground will it come back next year or should I cut my losses & rush out & buy 2 more while they are on sale. They are about 5 yrs old so a fair amount of growth on them. So disappointed!

They are pretty tough so expect them to recover.

And since there is a sale going on, buy some companions to add to the garden. Remember, your husband owes you so.... get a few more plants! Hee hee hee!

I'm thinking if he trampled them directly enough to break the branches, he may have compacted the ground around them too. I'd buy a couple of bags of compost, top dress over the root zones and out with that so the worms can begin to condition and aerate the soil again.

And 5 years established they will likely recover just fine, you just won't see their progress until next Spring.
