    Hi guys,

    I've got a new Daphne transatlantic that we planted in the summer which unfortunately got a bit damaged in the recent snow.

    One branch has split which has subsequently split some of the bark off the main stem. I haven't done anything with it yet but I assume I'll have to cut it off, but just conscious because they can be so particular and I'm hoping it doesn't damage the plant.

    Our builders did their level best to kill a Daphne. It's been split, stamped all over and crushed over to one side.
    It still lives! They have very deep roots and should be ok, I'd just leave it alone
