Re: new day new problem... low grow sumac

I bought it about a year ago so it wasn't that new. The last month was
brutal here with heat, although now we are back to normal weather. It
was in a sort of protected area.... still sunny, but not that late
afternoon brutal stuff here.

How long have you had it? I bought a "Blue Mist" fothergilla this  
spring, but with the heat we had here, it's a crispy critter now,  
despite my watering. Will have to replace it this fall.
