------------ but I am undecided. Last year I planted 6 Pyrancantha`s as
hedge fillers and they did very well, I am guilty of forgetting that
they were there and during this hot weather they are all, but one,
looking very sad, some of the flowers have dried up and are falling
off. Do peeps think I should prune them back and water like mad or just
water and see if they pick up

Just water. And don't worry.

Thank you Nick, I will go and do it right now :-)

My father dug one up for me - it was huge and most of teh roots got chopped
off. I moved it three times before sticking it near the fence to keep the
children from throwing stones over teh edge. We were both sure that it was
dead but it has just sprouted - I didn't really prune it, just cut it to
shape a little and watered like mad. They are very tough.

It helps if you can quote a little of what you're replying to!
