James,

You could give it some epsom salts dissolved in a bucket of water.
That'll green it up fast.

It'll do well now that it's in the ground.

Your older one is a real beauty.
Good work.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Great job James. IMO I would give both of your Trachy`s a rootboost treatment as well as what Barb was saying about the epson salts" 1 tblspn per gallon of water". Rootbooster goes along way to help establish new roots and even for the ones that have been planted. Here is what I use. http://store.professionalgardening.com/ ... -1l---1-Qt Thanks for the video.
