hedges

10 years ago

I have a rather long English laurel hedge that is doing really well at 4 years old. However there are three plants in three different spots, that I have replaced twice. None of the plants will grow and I am ready to replace the same three again. What could be in those spots that are interfering with growth ?

I don't know, but you might want to try the Gardenweb forums, which are now a part of Houzz, but have not yet been fully integrated into the Houzz app, etc., for some reason. The gardeners there can provide answers to many plant-specific questions. They are a friendly group, always willing to help.

The Shrubs sub-forum is located here.

You have not provided enough information. What are the plants? What is around/near them? A picture is worth a thousand words...got photos?
