Product Information
Full details
The Sorbus White Wax tree from Direct Plants is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for immediate visual impact in their landscape. This 6ft tall, fully hardy specimen is ideal for those who prefer an established tree over a sapling, offering versatility for both open-ground planting and patio containers. While it adapts well to various soil types and positions, gardeners should note that long-term container growth requires a large pot of at least 100 litres to ensure healthy root development.

Tree seems unstable in the pot
Ensure the container is sufficiently weighted and consider using a stake if the tree is in a windy location until it establishes itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon delivery, remove the bespoke packaging immediately to allow the tree to breathe. For ground planting, ensure the site has adequate drainage and consistent light. If potting, use a high-quality loam-based compost to provide necessary weight and nutrient retention. Water the tree thoroughly after planting. During the first growing season, check the soil moisture regularly, especially during dry spells, to help the root system anchor properly. If kept in a container, top-dress the soil annually and consider repotting or root pruning every few years to maintain vitality.
