I had one in a pot and put it in a corner on some soil the roots grew through the draining hole and I couldn't move it. With a bit of a struggle I finally freed it - the bay tree objected - and died. I have a camellia in the self-same pot as your new ones.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-6142597884808082512013-03-08T11:19:57.157+00:002013-03-08T11:19:57.157+00:00You've reminded me I have some re-potting to d...You've reminded me I have some re-potting to do as well.

I elected to put a faux stone pot next to my front door instead. It is too big to pick up (at least by me) so I wanted something I could leave out in all weather.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-91990572827374613162013-03-07T18:43:03.347+00:002013-03-07T18:43:03.347+00:00You're right.

My cherry tree is in an old half barrel but it's starting to rot so I'm going to have to think about repotting that, not a job I'm going to enjoy.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
