Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey


Transplanted Cenizo Recovery

After I rather harshly dug up a 3-foot Cenizo aka Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) shrub to move it (see post describing that), I wasn’t certain what its chances of survival would be. I expected to have to wait until spring to see if it was still alive.

However, the transplant recovery has gone better than I expected. The Cenizo did lose over half its leaves, but those that remain look healthy, and there are already new leaves forming. I think it’s going to be all right!
