Mary ,
what are some of your sources for this very interesting subject..
I'm particularly interested in it as I suspect that has occured in my very own
yard($5.hole for a .50cent plant)only to have it decline several years down the
road.
I would like to know more about this as I am just about to plant a considereable
amount of new shrubs etc.
Many thanks.
Connie
