I decided it was time to get some potted plants planted in the landscape. The first to be planted were for the newly re-landscaped area: the windmill palm, abutilon, and choisya ternata 'Sundance'. I also planted Daphne odora on the hillside, just above the upper driveway area.
Some of the plants were root bound. The palm needed a lot of root trimming, as the roots were winding around the bottom of the pot. It should be pretty happy to be in the ground now! I'm happy to have fewer plants in pots - a bit less work ahead.
It's vitally important to thoroughly water newly planted shrubs - even if lots of rain is predicted. It is also important to plant at the same depth as it was in the pot, and to loosen roots, trimming as needed.
