Growing Guide
Position
Plant in a sunny, sheltered position for the best growth and flowering potential. A warm wall or fence provides ideal support and growing conditions.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a healthy root system. Once established, water during prolonged dry spells, especially for plants grown in containers.
Soil
Grow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid prolonged waterlogging, particularly during winter.
Hardiness and Winter Care
Suitable for outdoor cultivation throughout Ireland. Newly planted specimens benefit from mulching around the base to conserve moisture and improve soil structure.
Routine Care
Prune regularly to maintain the neat espalier framework and encourage healthy growth. Remove any shoots extending beyond the trained shape and tie in new growth where appropriate.
