Care Information

Planting advice for your conifer collection

• Water your potted plant well.
• Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
• Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
• Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
• Sprinkle on some Root grow to help establish a sound root system.
• Place your plant in the hole at the same level as the pot.
• Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
• Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball.
• Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Pruning

• No pruning is required although you can clip to retain height from spring to late summer, just avoid cutting into old wood.
• If your plant gets too tall for where you have planted it, clip the top to keep it at the required height.
