big for its position.

anyway now its not looking too good, all of it looks as though the

as
good of care of the roots as i thought. and one third, of a

particular
branch look very nearly dead, almost completely dried up.

any suggestions on what to do now? my mum's suggestion was to buy a
bottle of plant doctor and pour it into surrounding soil undiluted,
anyone had any success with this?

not bothered about flowers in may this year, just want to make sure

it
survives, so any recommendations are most welcome


I'd say it was too big to be moved safely. They also don't like being
shaded, or being exposed to frosts and cold winds: a tricky
combination. Whole branches of a healthy specimen will die if that
particular part is shaded or crowded by other shrubs. I'd be inclined
to scrap it and buy a new one.
