moving a 15foot high weeping willow
Only got the weeper this May. This is turning out to be a
high-maintainance tree, I have had to lift it and trim the roots once already. It seems to need 2 gallons of water a day, and as this is going to leech the nutrients out of the compost very fast I give it a spoonfull of Miracle Gro once a week, twice the recommended dose. After initial problems getting the watering and feeding levels right, (my thanks again to Spider for his advice on the subject), it is doing very well. I have a very small garden and I love trees, particularly willows - an unfortunate combination. :-) There are, however *lots* of willows of all sizes, right down to a creeping one that grows only a few inches high. There should be something there to help you indulge your passion. -- Kay Easton I did not know they came that small, I shall look out for some of those, thanks. I have 5 more in small pots, all cuttings from the big one. Saw a new willow hybrid on a U.S. site advertized as "an ideal hedge plant", it grows 6 feet per year, that's just rediculous. Earnest |
