Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered position. A south- or west-facing wall provides ideal conditions for flowering and healthy growth.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, water during extended dry periods, especially if grown in a container.
Soil
Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Avoid prolonged waterlogging, particularly during winter.
Hardiness and Winter Care
Suitable for outdoor cultivation throughout much of Ireland in a sheltered position. In colder or more exposed gardens, protect young plants from severe winter frost until well established.
Support and Training
The plant is supplied already trained onto a 70 × 70cm espalier frame. Tie in new shoots as they develop to maintain full, even coverage of the framework.
Routine Care
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain the espalier shape and remove any shoots extending beyond the trained framework. Remove damaged or weak growth as required.
