deviding hibiscus.. man what a mother root!
« on: April 23, 2007, 09:40:07 AM »
I had these around my swimming pool.  the red, pink and white.  I had just forgotten about them for most part since I didnt open the pool up last year but they loved that water runoff from the pump. They have sent roots up 20 ft away from the original plants.  This is one of other mother plants that I have devided in 3 parts to get out . never knew they were so massive!

 :o That is one huge hibiscus! :) I can't imagine the work involved in getting that dug up. I remember the pictures of the beautiful blooms those hibiscus had last year.  o(:-) They are gorgeous!

Man, that is huge.  I have hibiscus, but the kind I have to take in the greenhouse every year.  That gets to be a pain and they're getting to large for it too.

Wow!  I have one, I pray I never need to dig it up.  I'll be borrowing my dh's chainsaw if I do.
