Default Choisya Failure

We moved 3 four year old Choisya last winter to 2 different beds. They were
fine when they were dug out of the ground. By spring they were already
looking somewhat droopy despite all the rain. Now all the shrubs hsve sickly
looking leaves and growth has been minimal. They havem'y died yet but look
that they could go anytime soon.

I am thinking of ditching all 3, but has anyone successfully transplanted
Choisya or had similar expereience to mine?




A friend of mine moved one (from sun to shade) and it did look really
grim for a while. It recovered and is doing very well. Lots of water helps.
