I need some help. I was at the local nursery buying some of that Bayer systemic that everyone suggested and I took a stroll out to the back where the damaged trees were. I found three Quercus ilex in 24" boxes. (I will post pictures tomorrow or Saturday) I will wait to see what you all say about them once you see them to tell you what I paid.
Anyway, they are in pretty rough shape one is leaning over about to fall out of it's box. They are all popping leaves however.
My question is should I just leave them in the box till fall? Feed them good and let them strengthen up a bit before taking them out? The days are starting to get into the 80s now. I don't want to transplant them to late.
If the answer is to go ahead and transplant them, how much root work can be done on this species safely?
Thanks a million, any other tips on this species would be greatly appreciated!
