    I just bought a peegee hydrangea tree (paniculata "grandiflora"), and was wondering where the best location would be for me to plant it.
    I have 2 choices, one on the west side of building where it gets blazing full sun near brick building (which really heats things up), or north-east side where it gets sun/part shade. Both area's can get windy, can it handle that?
    Thanks for any info!

    Sand is not bad but needs lots of humus to make great soil. Also water is a bit harder to keep up to plants. Mulching is a given. Our market gardens are on old sand dune soil south of us and they are very productive.
