Need help with Montery Bay Topiary that is in bad shape...

18 years ago

I was given two Eugenia "Monterey Bay" 3 gallon topiarys. When i got them last October they are in bad shape. They seem to be growing well now but they have not shape to them. Instead of just the one stalk to them there are 3 or 4 to each plant, all are growing leaves but not alot yet. What can i do with them to make them become what they once were? Can i get it back to just one stalk or let it grow the way it is? Please help! I don't know anything about taking care of these type plants.

Thanks,

Keri J.

I would strongly suggest that you allow them to grow for a while until the plants become well established
in their new location and gain back their over all vigor.
