Overview

A much-loved and sought after conifer, which if left uncut, can form a large tree with needle-like dark green leaves and (on female plants), fleshy, red fruits. They make excellent hedges and can also be clipped for topiary - like these, which have been trimmed to form a dense 30-35cm diameter ball. Perfect for the patio, or for for framing an entrance, they can also be incorporated into a mixed border to add year-round structural interest.

Care guide

Trim or renovate in summer or early autumn.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
