Hi,
I bought myself a shrub about a month ago. When I got it home I discovered the it was so root bound that I could hardly get it out of the pot. I cut slits in the side about 1/4 inch deep of the root ball and pulled it out as much as a dare try. It had a bit of green leaves coming out on it when I bought it but it hasn't done much since then. I'm wondering what to do. Do you think I should take it back and try to get something else or do you think it will snap out of it and come to life more. I called the place and they said something about maybe the soil wasn't warm enough yet. Only trouble is my shrubs next to them are doing fine. He said, "well you planted them last year." What do you think. Should a nursery sell plants that are so root bound that they are one solid mass of root and expect them to do well?
Thanks. |
