Practical
Arranging, positioning & care
Practical tips to help you get the most out of your choice.
Arranging tips
- Place a specimen tree where it can be seen clearly from the house or patio.
- When planting, take the final size into account; young trees often grow bigger than expected.
- An espalier or roof-trained tree needs formative pruning every year; ask us about the best time for your variety.
Position & placement
- Dig a generous planting hole, at least twice as wide as the root ball.
- Mix compost or planting soil into the excavated soil for a good start.
- Keep a suitable distance from buildings, cables and pipes, including underground ones.
Care tips
- Give new plantings extra water for the first two years, especially in dry spells.
- Prune at the right time for the variety; cover large pruning wounds to protect against disease.
- Protect sensitive young plantings in winter with a layer of mulch around the base.
