Plant Mutilation

Sad news in the Green Thumb of my life. My Natal Plum is doing awfully. I had to hack away at the dry and dead parts, which, as you can see, was most of them, to give these young ones a chance.


I think I need to replant it maybe. I can't tell if I over watered it, under-watered it, or didn't give it enough sunshine or maybe it's just too hot where it is. I'll have to take it to the ladies at Wilbebloomin to see if they can advise anything.

Also the littlest seaberry sprout died from too much sun. It's been scorching here for a few days. The other two, however, are doing well.


I still don't have a place to plant the one that will become an outdoor tree, though I think some friends of mine who just moved have an ample backyard. We'll see. All the other plants are doing more or less ok. The recent heatwave and their exposure to the sun did some damage so I am keeping on eye on all of them and keeping them out of direct sun for the time being.
