How are your t-rexs doing?

Re: How are your t-rexs doing?
my little t-rex hasnt done very well at all since i planted it outside about 2 months ago.
The leaves look wilted and seem to have started going brown in the last few days. not sure why, unless it's had too much rain or fertiliser i guess? hope it bounces back.

Re: How are your t-rexs doing?
I can't believe its too much rain as my little one has been outside in a pot for the month of May and its not been dry up here and it is growing okay, albeit very slowly, but I put this down to a lack of warmth.mathewtaylor wrote:my little t-rex hasnt done very well at all since i planted it outside about 2 months ago.

Re: How are your t-rexs doing?
I pulled up about 25 small pups this evening, but my first plant has now made it the 15 feet or so to my Butia. Also the first evidence of the coming up in the lawn
Best regards

Re: How are your t-rexs doing?
About 60 maybe, really have stopped counting. The grooved one is much more prolific than the flat, deeply lobed leaf ones.... so far. Still I can handle this better than bindweed.... at the momentredsquirrel wrote: how many is that so far Dave?

The only thing I have found, so far, that stops it is really deep, heavy, compacted clay. If you are on decent loam or peaty soil, it will just continue to run. It has now come up in my No1 base and shingle topped drive It's at the edge of my lawn now, but it if appears further into the lawn, then disregard my first sentence about heavy clay.
Best regards
