Hey Dsmith74, I too think these plants will not going to grow up so fast, as the texture, structure, porosity, of this one doesn't meet with the properties of the good soil. According to me you should try out changing the soil At least of landscape portion. I remember a few days ago one of my friends had migrated to Fairfax from California, and the house he bought was fully furnished and remodeled by STB remodeling group, The landscape was too beautifully designed with crabs, silver maple, Norway maple plants, with nice growth.
