Do you know the approximate root depth and strength? And would the roots eventually eat through a pipe?

I think Edgeworthia would be perfectly fine throughout the Southeastern states.

I’ve just purchased an Edgeworthia chrysantha at the Duke University Gardens store in Durham, NC. Does anyone know the heat hardiness zone range for this plant, particularly whether it can take zone 9? Monrovia indicates on their website that it, like Daphne odora, is only zone 7-9, needing regular watering in warmer weather. I’m guessing also perhaps a little more shade.
Has anyone in zone 9 experience growing Edgeworthia? Thanks in advance for any reply.

I would think it is much easier to move an Edgeworthia when it is young than old. Like daphnes they have a not well formed root system and don’t lend themselves to moving very easily.

Our edgeworthias grow about 12-15″ per year. We have never pruned them and don’t really fertilize them. We do mulch around them with a combination of leaf compost and composted shredded bark. We have never deadheaded either and get a profusion of flowers every year.

I planted an Edgeworthia Chrysantha about a year ago & it has “flowered” twice & has had a hand full of leaves (small tree). I cannot find any information about how fast/slow they normally grow, also how to fertilize & if I should trim to shape and when to do so. If I “deadhead” as flowers fade, will that encourage more flowering?

Thanking you in advance for your help!
