Overview
Small low maintenance conifer with bright golden-green foliage perfect for winter interest A narrow conical tight growing tree with upright branches. Young foliage is bright yellow/green. Used to be grown as a house plant but hardy enough outside. Variety Information Habit Upright Foliage Colour Green Features Evergreen, Winter Interest Size Information Supplied As 1L Pot Height on Arrival Height can vary depending on when you purchase your tree, and what rootstock and variety combination you buy. 0.3m Age 1 Year Eventual Height & Spread Our cherries are grafted onto dwarfing rootstocks, which reduce vigour, producing trees better suited to the average sized garden. 3m x 1m (10 x 3ft) How Your Plant Will Arrive Planting Requirements Planting Guide Planting Essentials Key is to regularly water newly-planted trees, at least bimonthly for two months. It is also important to ensure you choose a location where your tree has enough space, which you can calculate from a variety's eventual height and spread. Dig a hole twice the radius of the rootball. Before planting, drench the rootball. Place the pot in the hole, ensuring it sits no lower than an inch below ground. Fill the hole with a mix of compost and garden soil, and add fertiliser and mycorrhizal fungi. Do not compress the soil. Give your tree a good watering. Add mulch on top whether bark and wood chippings, compost, manure, leaf-mould and stones. Make sure mulch doesn't touch the stem. Apply fertiliser and replace decomposed mulch come spring. We have developed an eco friendly polypot currently in use across our 9L range . The polypot uses less than 20% of the plastic compared with a normal pot and, unlike most garden center pots, is recyclable. Polypots also prevent root spiraling to encourage a healthier root system. All trees arrive in a specially made, extra thick, cardboard box with a clamp to hold the pot in place at the bottom of the box. This prevents any movement during transit, keeping your plant safe. We wrap the roots of our bare root trees and use compost to keep them moist during transport. This extra bit of protection prevents them from drying out and makes sure your tree gets off to a flying start. We use the same specialised box as our potted trees to ensure safe transit. Conifers are easy to grow. Your tree’s growth and output will likely be fine providing you followed our planting and care instructions. Below we address some common queries: Hardiness : Conifers can be found growing in far colder regions than the UK and therefore the UK’s mild winters will not affect your tree. Position : Conifers make an excellent choice for shady areas of the garden, but do benefit from full sun. Soil Types : Soil types are best ignored and remain an unwelcome confusion. Every plant will adapt to its conditions. Having said that, less than ideal conditions will reduce growth. Waterlogged soils will starve your tree of oxygen, which plays a key role in photosynthesis, cause its roots to rot and create the perfect environment for many diseases. Similarly, compressed soils can starve a tree of oxygen and water, so do not compress the soil when planting. Aeration can be improved further with mulching. Planting In Pots : Conifers do well in pots and benefit from slightly acidic soil, so using a mix of ericaceous soil and garden soil is recommended. With upright varieties, select a square pot, as high winds will topple your tree.
