Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 40–80 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 10–15 m in height and 2–4 m in width. Allow room for a narrow, upright conical crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged ground. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Apply mature compost or a slow-release evergreen fertiliser once in spring if soil is poor. Clip once or twice during the growing season to maintain size; do not cut back into old brown wood.
