FYI, my Myrtles get powdery mildew every year as well. Several years ago a local nursery owner told me to use Fertilome Rose & Flower Food With Systemic Insecticide every month after they start leafing through Fall. It has worked very well so far.

That looks like a fun project. Get your Makita ready.

What's the plan for potting that bad boy up? Are you planning on leaving it in a growing bead for a couple of years or are you going to re-collect it in the spring?

I'm thinking I'll lift it next spring if/when I see buds pushing and pot it up. I removed a lot of roots, but I left more then I normally would have because the timing of the dig wasn't ideal. I would have preferred doing it in mid October, and thought getting it temporarily back in the ground would be best to get it through the winter.
