Planting Time

Positioning Trees

Prefers partial shade but can also tolerate full sun, especially in cooler climates
Happy in woodland settings or as part of a mixed border
Best grown in well-drained, fertile soils, either acidic or neutral
Can be planted in light or heavy clay soils

When Planting

Ensure the root ball sits at ground level and backfill with soil
Make sure the tree is planted straight and compact the soil gently around the roots
Level the soil around the base of the tree to ensure stability

Water thoroughly after planting, and soak the root ball for 10 minutes before planting if it's in a pot
Water again after planting and ensure the soil stays moist during dry spells (water every 2-3 days if necessary)
Keep the area around the base of the tree free from grass and weeds, which can compete for nutrients and space
Avoid strimming or mowing around the base of the tree to prevent damage to the trunk and encourage strong growth
