JFGreenie 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2020 In an effort to replant an oak leaf hydrangea (Snowqueen) correctly (per last week's webinar), I discovered that the grower had shoved three separate single stem plants into one #7 pot. I have separated them so that I can plant each part away from the others. How far apart should I plant them so, as they grow, they don't interlace with one another?

Janet Macunovich 32 Report post Posted April 30, 2020 Cool! In this rotten situation with trees and shrubs girdling more often than not, there should be at least some bright side. 3-for-the-price-of-one is bright! You can plant each one as a separate shrub. Miles apart, if you want. But if you want to keep them together give them space like nature does when anoakleaf hydrangea suckers on its own - maybe 4-5 inches between. So that even if both remain to become main trunks of the shrub, 2" in diameter, they won't be rubbing on each other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
