Hi Wineprovider and welcome to GoY. I would say your pieris definitely needs repotting into a larger container along with some good compost - looks very sad and sorry for itself right now.

Ok I`ll do that. Do you agree with my intentions........Plant it in my garden in a bottomless pot full of ericaceous compost. I`ve done this with Azalea about the same size and they are thriving.

Unfortunately, the picture is so fuzzy I can't tell if there's something else wrong with it - any chance you could post one that's in focus? Is this plant variegated? Or do you know its varietal name?

Not knowing which pieris you have I would not like to say planting in a bottomless pot will work...

How do I add additional photographs please?

Found it. These are a little better. You can see that most of the tips of the yellow leaves are brown. There are still a few "healthy" looking parts to the foliage.

They're much better pics. On the older leaves, it looks as if there's a cream or white rim to the leaves, in other words, some variegation. If this variety is Flaming Silver, it is very susceptible to frost damage, but to be honest, those brown tips look like either sun or wind damage. Not sure if the pot is big enough, can't see the depth of it, but you can tell that by turning it out to see if its rootbound. Have you had it somewhere in full sun or in a very windy spot? Could the pot have dried out at some point? You see this on potted pieris that have not been watered sufficiently well - they need watering even if the weather is wet a lot of the time because the foliage keeps the rain off the compost.

I don`t where you are but this plant has overwintered in Cornwall UK.
In the spring while I was away there was a drought and in May there has been strong winds. In view of these facts is there anyway I can save this plant?........or........is my previous remedy sufficient.

There's no reason why it shouldn't be happy in a pot, if your soil is alkaline, at least for 4 or 5 years, so long as its in ericaceous compost. And this plant is not dying, its just a bit damaged, it should recover, provided its not in a very exposed situation and does get some shade, particularly during the hours between 11 and 3 pm. So you can either keep it in a pot, or try what you suggested - but the same rules apply regarding sheltered and a bit shady and not being allowed to dry out completely during hot spells. If we ever get any hot spells, that is...

Now we have better pixa gree with Bamboo.

Ok.................thanks all I`ll move it to a less exposed position with partial shade. I think I can close this now and post a new thread for a dwarf plum in the same exposed position.
Please accept my sincere thanks again.
Kind regards,
