Hi all. I was hoping for some feedback on a practice of mine. I've been
getting small shrubs mail-order in the spring, and replanting them into
large containers that I can watch over for the whole growing season. I've
also been doing this for perennials that seem touchy. I lost many small
plants when I put them right away into my difficult
conditions--root-infested, shady, clay soil--so have decided to be more
careful. My question is: does another season in a pot stunt the growth of
the plant? My Japanese maples seem awfully small for their age.
Thanks,
