Top Tips

• Keep well-watered, and if growing in a pot, use a good quality, soil-based compost.

Care Guide

• On receipt, soak the roots in water for at least two hours (overnight is better). If you can't plant straight away, they should be fine for up to a week if left in a cool, dark, frost-free place - keep the bag around the roots with some water inside.
• Dig a hole twice the width of the roots, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, and add some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone (wash your hands afterwards!).
• Aim to plant at the same depth as the soil mark on the trunk.
• Holding the tree or plant upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, and gently shake the plant, so the soil falls back around the roots.
• Use your heel to compact the soil around the plant to ensure good contact around the roots.
  If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
• No special pruning is required, but If side branches form, remove them in winter.
