Hi

Got my Pyracantha today, They are all between 10" & 12" tall. I have put them in pots (they came in polly bags) Should I keep them in the greenhouse or leave them out side?

 

i d keep em in a cold frame or cold greenhouse for two weeks, to harden them off ........ and i tend to plant them when the weather is mild an no frost forecast for a week,make sure the roots are damp be4 you plant em ... i tend to dip roots in a waterbutt rather than using a watering can

 

o and a few light stakes to protect from wind damage and to help them establish

 

The Lady Gardener I will do just that. Thanks for your help. :D

 

We didn't use any stakes when we planted ours and it's now a hedge to be proud of, nice and sturdy.

 

Lisa how fast dose it grow?

 

i think it l be 2-3 years be4 you can say "hedge", o and i'd lightly prune those leaders, you want to encourage a low shrubby growth in the first year
the ground should be dug to inprove drainage, and some compost added in the area around the planting to give them a good start

 

Madrat i love your icon.

 

cheers

 

ours grew really fast because we fed it alot.

 

Thank you elainefiz
aparantly pete2255 dosnt like it. says it to political.

Well all I can say is if Bush gets his way we might not be able to garden in the future. and pete it might not say a lot about my gardening but it just showes you are shelow and make judgments on what you first see.

 

No need to get personal Madrat.

 

you started it

 

Lets not get political on a gardening forum eh, this is one place where we can come and we don't have to be constantly reminded of politics. Lets make this a politics free zone, theres enough misery going on in the world. :(
