Pieris Dig (Maroubra)
Posted: June 1st, 2016, 3:06 pm
For the sake of a progression thread, I dug up a large Pieris shrub today from a Maroubra garden.
It was fairly easy to remove due to very sandy soil. Took me about 1 hr. It was a free shrub so if it dies, nothing lost.
I haven't seen to many large Pieris bonsai trees around. This is my first tree of this species. Anyone who has one, feel free to spread the knowledge [SMIRKING FACE]
There is some nice curves on both trunks and it doesn't look too bad from two sides. If it survives, I will let it grow over the summer and make a decision on where to reduce the trunks.
