Hi has anyone got one of these I have one in a pot and ant to transfer it to the ground but have read there is a risk to moving mature ones. Any advice pls.

Hi Carl,

I would have thought that transferring it from a pot into the ground would do it good. I don't think that that counts as moving it.
As long as you have prepared the ground beforehand and keep it watered you should be ok.

I think the " risk to moving mature ones ", is a warning about digging one out that is already planted in the ground and then replanting it.

 

Mind you, they grow big, and are difficult to prune and still get flowers.

Nice plant though.

 

And a nice scent.

 

Yes it does have a nice scented flowers nice yellow ones ....here is a picture of it and the plot I will put it in.

 

Ok update just replanted it tonight plenty of water and feed near root ball.

 

Hi Carl,

That looks good

 

Cheers Anthony hope it looks as good when I get home from work tomorrow ?

 

Might be my eyes so forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the soil in the ground is higher than it was in the pot. If so then you might want to remove some of the soil from around the base. Lovely tree though, I fancy one myself but don't have any more space.

 

Might be the angle (or my eyes)

 

I read that as "Might be the angle of my eyes"


back on topic I spotted one of these in the front garden of a house in town and I wondered what it was, very striking tree when it's flowering.

 

Hey well latest is its still surviving and as for how deep in pot I have put it to the same level as was in the pot. It has had a good watering after the storm last night. Think I have cracked it . Will do another photo tomorrow....
