Ceanothus Concha â??Californian Lilacâ?

Hi, I have a Ceanothus Concha â??Californian Lilacâ? and for about the past 2 years it has not looked very happy.:( As you can see in the photo's theres lots of leaves at the top but hardly any or none lower down. Whatâ??s wrong with it?:cnfs:


Thankyou

Is it in a pot ? it seems to be deprived of light and nourishment.

 

Yes it is in a pot. Possibly the pot might now be too small for it?? It does light. What does it like the most direct sun light or just a bright location?

 

Do you need to keep it in a pot, or can you plant it in the ground?

It wants to grow 10' tall AND 10' wide, so its a BIG plant!

 

I think from all the previous questions and answers its probably pot bound

 

It wont grow in a pot, not well anyway.

It needs full sun and plenty of room, root wise and the top growth.

 

Then no wonder it looks like that. Its in a nice pot but if thats not making it happy then something else can be put in that pot. Does it need to go in the ground or would a very large pot do?

 

I think the general agreed decision is ,put it in the ground :D

 

I've had a few "large plants" in pots, over the years. They never looked as good as a plant grown in the soil ...

 

Looks like I will have to find a nice big sunny spot in the ground for it. I just recently fill two ideal spot for it with a cherry blossom and lavatera. Look like I will have to make another one somewhere.

Thankyou :gnthb:
