| I have had 3 of these beautiful shrubs for about 5 years now. Two are planted near each other and are doing great. The 3rd was in a seperate area and was damage quite a bit from the huge snowstorm we had back in February. I tied it up but some of the branches were still damaged. It is about 6' and looks quite scraggly, despite new growth.
I know it's the wrong time of year, especially since it's 97 degrees today but I needed to move it, so I transplated it this morning, added lots of compost and watered well. My question is, what can I do it make it grow better and not look so scraggly? It has a lot of brown with ne growth on the tips. |

| Don't add compost etc. to planting holes. If tree does not improve in appearance on its own over next few to several years, remove and replace. |

| Why shouldn't you add compost to planting holes? I've always done that and have been trained to do that. Not a lot, but a little. Also, I can't believe that the only thing to do it nothing and wait to see if it dies. |
