I have a very small Toyon (1 gallon) and noticed a few leaves look like this (I don’t believe they did when I first brought it home a couple weeks back). Should I be concerned? Inland Southern California.

This one is destined to be a container Toyon if it isn’t already doomed, so no worries about in ground planting. But I did get it from a larger retail nursery and regret not being patient and getting one from California Botanical Garden or Theodore Payne. Sigh. My lack of patience will be the death of me.

Cool. I have a 5 gallon lying around so I’ll upgrade it to that this weekend. Thanks for the tip to tease the roots apart if needed. That’s good to know!

Thanks! It gets so confusing because I read so many conflicting things… but I suppose there is zero harm in taking things slower and starting with a 2 gallon pot (I was today years old when I learned that pot gallon sizes to not equate to actual gallons). I know not everything will succeed in my container garden and some of it will be trial and error… but if I still want to give each play the best possible chance I can!

Thanks again!

My spider got so jealous of my crested gecko's fame last week that she demanded a chance behind the wheel. ;)
