We ended up moving them to a new location in the sun. It's only been a few weeks since we moved them but is there anything else we can do? I really like the plant a lot and hope I can do something to save it. We live just outside of Boston.

My Fineline is now 7ft tall, and still as lovely as the day i purchased it. It has never changed width wise, as it grows in a 'V' shape naturally. I do find those new Asian Stink Bugs like my Fineline-i can't tell if they are doing any damage to my plant, but those stinkers sure like to lounge in the leaves! I've had no other pest problems-and my apt is directly backed up to a protected wetland area with plenty of 'pests'.

Maybe you could grow it in a pot? ;)TSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734795130434572096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576693020954117625.post-16365543924982682672011-08-27T21:01:19.485-04:002011-08-27T21:01:19.485-04:00A very interesting shrub!
