The Cherry Plum got badly burned by a hot summer day. Which seems to happen regularly with this one: pleasant flowers in spring, burned leaves in summer, limping into autumn. But recently learnings suggest that my old soil mix is the problem, so in January I decided to repot into a perlite/pumice/scoria mix.
And as a bonus, let’s have a look from the time of typing.
There’s still a couple of months of autumn remaining, so I’m hopeful this can get a normal but compressed cycle before winter.
