    Hello all,

    I recently had my driveway done up.

    Unfortunately, the workers were less than scrupulous with the way they dug out my plants.

    Below are pictures of my little conifer. When I replanted it, it had its full head of hair. Now it is going bald leaving its hair on the floor.

    Just a little shake sheds more hair.

    Note that this all happened this week and we are in the height of summer.

    Just wondering if it will survive. Really liked that plant. :(

      ohhh what a shame , I doubt it as we are into to July soon .

      Builders are not gardeners and even us lot on here would think twice with moving shrubs or conifers in June.

          It's crying out for water - but probably too late now.
