Overview
An excellant hedging plant, which is similar in appearance to beech, but with a rough texture to the leaves. Leaves turn yellow in autumn and the dry leaves will stay on the plant throught winter. Trim in July.
A bundle of 10 plants supplied in a pot for convenience.
Good soil preparation is the key to a good start. Dig a trench 45cm (1.5ft) wide and 1ft deep. Dig in plenty of organic matter. Adding lime free gravel to the base if the soil is heavy clay. The preparation can be done the month before to allow the ground to settle prior to planting. Plant at the same depth as supplied. Mulch after planting, keeping mulch away from stems. Water well for the first two years.
