Not sure if this is the right forum, but have to f´give it a try
Last year i was told one of my treepeopnies had tomato virus.
I was told to dig it up
Then I had a great space, but they told me i could not plant hostas for 2 or 3 years in that spot ..... is it true or false ??
Just placed a pot with heucheras in that great spot

Hi Pia,
Yes, hostas can get tomato ringspot virus. If someone said to wait 2 to 3 years that is because this virus can spread by root feeding nematodes in the soil. It seems like a long time to me, but if the peony was there for a while you would really need to make sure those roots are out and then let them die before planting anything else, and peony roots last a really long time.
To me it definitely sounds like a spot for a pot or garden ornament

Thanks Chris
The treepeony was 3 or 4 years old, but didn't have a bit roots ball. And last year was the first it bloomed
One good thing, it was a double and I didn't like it that much, the flowers were way to big and heavy for the little "tree" , but they had a wonderful dark red color.
I could for a minimum crame in 3 or 4 hostas but may have to do with the idea of a bigger one in a pot
