Description

After Plant Fertiliser For Evergreens is an advanced plant feed that supplies nutrients to establishing plants and enhances soil quality with beneficial microbes to aid nutrient uptake. The blend of nutrients are designed specifically for the needs of establishing evergreen trees and plants. The beneficial microbes include mycorrhizal fungi to help plants establish their fibrous roots, whilst the beneficial soil bacteria unlocks more nutrients from the soil over time.

After Plant Fertiliser For Evergreens is ideal as a top dressing for establishing evergreen trees and shrubs including Conifers, Cotoneater, Ceanothus, Arbutus & Evergreen Magnolia. It is particularly beneficial in new build gardens or anywhere with poor soil quality. It is not a replacement for Rootgrow, and when used in conjunction they will give the best possible start to trees by not only improving root development but also over time helping release nutrients locked into the soil.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Sprinkle 1-2 handfuls on the ground around the base of the plant. Lightly fork into the soil then water well.
