Lavander with poor roots?

Post by Gerard »

I picked up this lavander on Sunday from Bodhi, he was apologetic suggesting the roots were rather poor.

I might still remove the back branch but will wait for some flowers and foliage before making that decision.
Plus lots of fun carving when it has settled.

That is fantastic Gerard, i am pleased that it is so healthy. That is going to be one fantastic tree. You can estimate that tree at 20 years plus. :tu: Please post it when it flowers.
