Last fall I bought a Mahonia x media ‘Underway’ from Cistus at their “tough love” sale. It was gorgeous. I tucked it, still in its nursery pot, into one of the beds so we could mow the lawn. Unfortunately I tucked it too far under the eaves of the house and it got totally dried out. And then the poor thing lost most of its branches.
Now it’s the Charlie Brown Mahonia. Uggggggghhhh. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Eventually it will put out new growth from the top and fill out that way but I don’t think it will produce any new shoots below. Am I wrong? Should I cut my losses and buy a new one?
