Sad Little Photinia Transplants


Here's a picture of my Photinia that I transplanted. One is doing well, the other two are getting more and more brown everyday. I went to a nursery today to see how much baby Photinia cost. The 5 gallon pot was $15 and the 1 gallon was $5. I think I will buy one replacement if the other 2 die. They grow fast and 2 will make a better screen than one. The question is whether I should buy the big or the small container. I am leaning toward the small container. The difference in the 2 sizes only looks to be about 6 months. I have heard that smaller plants recover from tranplant shock quicker and can actually outgrow larger nursery stock.
