Renowned for their emerald green foliage. Grows in a long pyramidal shape. Excellent as screening plant or trimmed into a formal hedge.
Care – Water in well when planting and water through the first 2 months. Best in a position where it receives adequate light.
- Once the plants are taken home, remove the bag from the pot within 3 days.
- Water the plant but don’t saturate it. It may be easier to put the plant in a small container with 5 cm of water in the bottom. The tree will draw up the amount of water required.
- Keep your plants in an area where they get plenty of light but not full sun.
- Then water every second day.
Few weeks later:
- The plants can stay in the little pot for a few weeks as long as they are watered every day. As soon as convenient, the trees should be potted into a larger pot using premium potting mix with fertiliser.
- The newly potted plants can then be kept in a sunny position. Full sun or light shade is suitable.
- Once the plants reach around 40-50cm in height, they can be planted directly into the ground. They can be kept in pots permanently as long as the pot size is increased as the tree grows and they are fertilised every 6 months.
