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?


I have moved one a while back. I don't recall any problems.

Give them a year to settle in and remember to water them regularly in
summer. Transplanting trees and shrubs is stressful. Try a foliar feed
just in case they are deficient in something in their new location.
