I'm not sure Brandon. I have a few new Teas I planted last Fall that look terrible right now too. They had looked so good in their pots before planting in ground. I had room in the alcove I have to have kept them from freezing all Winter. I have regrets now.

I am just going to leave them and see what they do. I'm sure in another month or so it will all become very clear.

Last year I had some with very strange looking new growth due to the late frosts in May. It was extremely chlorotic as well as skinny with multiple leaves at each juncture. All of them have recuperated this year with the exception of Scepter'd Isle, but I think it will make a comeback. I had many many many like this and they did all survive and become normal in time. Sorry about this.🙁

It rained about an inch and a half last week, but beyond that it has not been very wet.

Vaporvac, your description of what you experienced sounds very similar to what I am, so hopefully it will be fine
