Watering Water when there are 3 or more days of dry weather. In particularly hot periods you may need to water daily during the first year.

Best Growing Conditions Prune in late spring or early summer. Remove dead or diseased branches and crossing branches. If grown as a hedge, trim it once a month during the summer months. Use a slow-release fertiliser in the Spring and again in the Autumn to promote healthy growth.
