[align=left]Hi,[/align]
[align=left]Are curled, stunted looking leaves normal on new Photinia plantings?[/align]
[align=left]I had a hedge of 48 Photinia fraseri planted 2 weeks ago.* My master landscaper did a great job preparing the raised beds doing everything right with nutrients, mulch, fertilizer and anti-fungal.* The plants are about 2-3 feet tall.* He said they were the finest he'd ever bought, not root bound and grown in sand.[/align]
[align=left]I've watered them twice a week for 10 minutes each since.* This morning, after 2 weeks in the ground, I noticed that almost all of them have the new red leaves curled, and stunted-looking.**And one plant has a sticky clear resin-like substance on parts of it.[/align]
[align=left]Is this just a bit of transplant shock?* I'm in Northern Virginia.[/align]
