Japanese Holly rescue
I just found 5 ilex compacta's at a local nursery that had been put
out to die. These were in 3 gallon pots, and the pots taken off, so the severely root-bound masses were out in the air for at least a day. I immediately potted them in larger nursery pots with some old recycled potting soil and gave them a drink, and put them in the shade; though they weren't dry because we've had a lot of rain and cool temps lately (blackberry winter here in Tennessee). I only chose the ones that had at least 50% green on them. Anyway, what would you guys do to maximize chances of survival and eventual bonsai ? |
