While supplied at 6 feet, this tree can eventually reach a height of 6-8 meters in the ground; however, container-grown trees will stay significantly smaller if pruned regularly.
Yes, it is very adaptable and thrives in most well-drained soil types, including slightly acidic to neutral soils.
It prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. A spot with partial shade can actually help protect the berries and leaves during very hot summer spells.
Absolutely. It is well-suited for large patio containers provided you repot it occasionally and maintain regular watering and feeding schedules.
The ideal time to prune is during the winter dormant season (November to February) to remove dead wood or to thin the crown for better light penetration.
Often a sign of water stress; check that the drainage is adequate and the soil is not overly dry or saturated.
Ensure the tree is in a large enough container and consider repotting with fresh, nutrient-rich compost every two years.
Install a sturdy wooden stake at a 45-degree angle to the tree root ball to provide support until the roots are fully anchored.
Upon arrival, carefully remove the bespoke packaging and ensure the tree is well-watered. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the width of the 12-litre pot, incorporate well-rotted organic matter, and firm the soil around the roots. For container growing, use a high-quality loam-based compost and ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Feed with a balanced granular fertilizer in early spring and prune any dead or crossing branches in late winter while the tree is dormant to maintain the desired silhouette.
