Shrubs half dead
A lot of shrubs are doomed from the start if the root system isn't right. I always soak them overnight and tease the roots but, if the root ball is too dense, they will always be rather feeble specimens. I have learnt not to trust garden centres in this respect. You're better off buying from a market stall where the turnover is high. Most nurseries and garden centres have a very rapid turnover! There are certainly some good market stalls and bargains can be found but it is then a case of caveat emptor all too often. I'm sure the family run centres are as good as they ever were :-) Too many round here appear to be part of large groups. Shrubs that don't sell hang around till the following year and the price increased because they're that bit bigger. |
