| We had to dig up a dwarf bottlebrush that turned out to have a really deep root system. Hubby had to cut a large root but it couldn't be helped. We moved it into a whiskey barrell with bagged tree and shrub dirt. Right away, the leaves started crinkling up. Is it dying or just shocked?
I know they are drought tolerant but is this a special situation? The dirt had plant food. Does that sound wrong for a bottlebrush? What can I do for this shrub? |

| I can't say for sure, but I'd say just wait and watch. Cut off the shriveled up stuff. Can you provide some shade for it until it recovers? I moved a fall blooming aster 2 weeks ago. It moved with most its roots in place but it looked pitiful. I thought I'd killed it. :( |
