Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade. Suitable for sheltered or moderately exposed positions where year-round screening is required.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Continue to water during prolonged dry spells, particularly for recently planted or container-grown specimens.
Soil
Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Incorporating organic matter before planting will encourage healthy establishment.
Hardiness and Winter Care
Fully hardy throughout Ireland and requires no routine winter protection once established. Apply a mulch around the base each spring to help conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Routine Care
Trim two or three times during the growing season to maintain the crisp espalier shape and encourage dense branching. Remove any shoots extending beyond the trained framework.

- Privacy screening.
- Courtyard gardens.
- Formal and contemporary landscapes.

Good to Know
