About this product

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant from April to May or in September in full sun. Soil: well-drained; dry and poor soil is tolerated. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, keep the root collar level with the ground, water thoroughly and mulch with 5 cm of bark.
Care. In spring or early summer trim only young growth to keep the arching shape. Remove dead twigs and watch for needle spotting in shady sites.
Watering and feeding. Water young plants regularly in the first season; an established shrub is drought tolerant and needs water only in long dry spells. Feed with a conifer fertiliser in spring and early summer; avoid nitrogen from August.
Winter care and pruning. Hardy; shake off heavy snow. Old wood does not regrow, so prune with care.
