PLANTING & CARE: - Only plant bare rooted plants from November to March. Always ensure the roots are kept moist. If you can’t plant immediately upon receipt, dig a 200mm trench, put the plant roots in and cover with soil until required. Prior to planting, dip roots in water to ensure the roots are planted wet. Dig the hole approximately 20mm deeper than the plant root to allow the plant to be planted slightly deeper than it’s been grown at in the nursery. Back fill the hole with well broken up soil holding the plant upright in position. Top dress with bonemeal, 1 handful per 4 plants or 1 osmacote tablet per plant. For additional protection and support fit a spiral guard and cane (See the ‘Growing and Caring’ Section at the top of this page). Keep well watered in the first year of development and apply bonemeal annually in March. To grow as a hedge cut to height required annually in September.
