    Morning Hazel. Debs, Pieris is another acid loving shrub so if you can incorporate some ericaceous compost around it and never use blood, fish and bone fertiliser, you might be able to get it to pick up. They are usually quite robust.

    Now I am wondering? Is it a pieris?

    Debs, I'm guessing your pic is sideways on? Its hard to tell but I do think it is a pieris.

    Yes, should I dig it up do you think? I hate to see a plant struggling in the wrong conditions. I have kept my rhododendron healthy by constant care and attention because she is too big to move safely but in future I will grow rhododendrons only in pots it’s too much effort. I am working on making the front garden low maintenance and tidy.

    Do you mean to keep it in a pot or to just remove it completely? I grew my pieris for years in a pot but eventually put it in the garden where it is very happy.

    Put it in a pot I think unless I can find someone with the right conditions to pass it onto

    I think it looks worth saving Debs and they will grow happily in pots.
