My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Little Henry Itea shrub shooting up stems

6 years ago

I planted in early spring but looks unusual with a couple of long stems growing versus the entire shrub. Should I be doing something?
