Default Dwarf Pear Lilliput help

Hello All

I ordered a Dwarf Lilliput and planted it in a 35 cm pot. about a week ago. The leaves are still crinkly and curved and it doesn't look any better than when we got it trhough the post.

Can anyone help at all?

If you need any more info please ask and I'll try to explain better.

Russell give it time. You don't say whether it was sent bare rooted? If so then they keep them in dormancy somehow. Anyway as the weather gets warmer and you water and feed it it will soon recover from the shock of being moved.

Hey Mrs Dog

thanks for the advice. I don't know what bare rooted means. It came in a plant pot we think.

What sort of feed do I need to give it? I'm OK at growing veg but not very experienced when growing fruit.

Thanks again
