I know they do this, but can I replant another in the same place if I
improve the soil?
Do they suffer similarly to roses if you reaplant in the same place?


I suspect most woody plants won't be happy being planted in the same
place that a similar plant expired. Mine died of damp winter a year ago.
I plan on putting something else in the spot it vacated.

I just have nowhere else in my garden to put one.
So sad!


I wonder if you can grow one in a pot. Or dig out and replace enough
soil to give it a sporting chance. Roots didn't seem too extensive on
mine (then that might have been because they were dying back unseen).
