Whither Wilma?


Cupressus macrocarpa 'Wilma'

Sometimes it pays to see your mistakes front and center. I left this shrub, Cupressus macrocarpa 'Wilma,' in the pink pail holding the screen door open all summer. It didn't get the light it needed and did what it rightfully should have done: die. The shrub I paired with this, another 'Wilma,' also in a pink pail, sat about 3 feet away and flourished. Well not flourished, but she survived with just a wee bit more sun. Hoping against hope, I placed the sickly shrub on the Dock hoping for a miracle. And of course it was too late. And so it goes.
