Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or early autumn in sun to part shade; 60–80 cm apart for a hedge. Keep the crown level with the soil and water generously after planting.
Care. Mulch around the roots with bark or peat to keep the soil moist. Avoid prolonged drought and sites near salted roads.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly for the first two years and generously in dry weather. Apply conifer fertiliser in spring and stop feeding in late summer.
Pruning and winter. Clip hedges once a year in early summer and do not cut into old wood. Hardy; protect young plants from spring sun and winter drying.
