I only have the one Kazz. No, I have never fed it It is planted in the soil now but for a few years I kept it in a container. It has done better since being in the ground but is not the best specimen in the world Will try and remember to take a piccie of it tomorrow...

Re: Pieris (Forest Flame)


It's a lovely plant and grows prety easily. The huge one I brought with me here has suffered from being planted on a poor, chalky, bank (Poor thing, they like ericaceous!) but is hanging on in there!
I've just bought another baby in a litre pot, and that will go in the ericaceous planter, with the azaleas.
Has anyone mentioned that the new (red) leaves are very frost sensitive? Good to have a bit of fleece ready to throw over the plant on cold spring nights. It's such a shame to lose that early colour.
