    @GardenerSuze, translation

    Thank you, Suze. Any idea where this foliage problem could come from?
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • @thierry.g.6868750 This is my Amelanchier not very happy. It has been in a pot for a year and is showing signs of stress. It did improve for a while during the summer but in the recent hot weather started to look unhappy again. At the moment I am not too concerned as mentioned by @Joyce Goldenlily growing conditions have been difficult and lots of different shrubs have suffered.

    Think it might have rust and mildew but with fresh new leaves next year I hope it will be fine. I will clear all the old leaves this Autumn and plant in the ground when dormant.
    @Busy-Lizzie Don't know if you are out there thankyou, if you can translate if not I will ask my daughter later.

    I'd plant that now - I wouldn't wait until it's dormant. 
    The sooner it's in the ground, with healthy growing conditions, the better it'll thrive. 

    I'm not sure the OP's plant is an amelanchier either, but it could be one I'm not familiar with. It would be good to have more info about how it's growing though. They certainly won't like being dry long term. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    @Fairygirl I would love to be able to plant it. Digger arriving next week will widen the border so hope to do something asap. Had to start with front garden it is dreadful but getting there. Last house on the street planted with all the shrubs that were left over.
    Vine weevil damage, unsuitable plants , Viburnum Tinus x twenty or so in a small garden with labels saying 30 to 40 cm which is the approx height of the actual plants.
    There is a covernant on height of 50 cm, three laurels tightly packed in together and a standard photinia underplanted with three more photinias.
    One label did say for a different plot that was probably built 3/ 4 years ago I doubt it had ever left it's pot.
    Most have been ripped out they are so poor.
    Luckily I have bought lots of plants with me so not a great expense to replant. The soil has been improved more to add next year. At this point it is goodbye to the Viburnums next year, they are outside every house on the street.

  • @thierry.g.6868750 I hope all goes well with your Amelanchier next spring. Thanks for your reply.
