Prune new shoots to a bud facing in the direction of the desired growth.Care Guide- Bay trees will grow in any well-drained soil in a sunny position, and thrive in containers, as long as they are kept well-watered.- Use a soil-based compost, such as John Innes No 2, with extra grit added to improve stability of the post and help drainage as bay roots dislike sitting in wet.- Add controlled-release fertiliser granules to the pot or use a liquid feed every two week from mid-spring to late summer.- Check plants and repot every two years in spring so that the soil does not become exhausted and stale.- Bay can withstand temperatures down to -5°C, but frost and cold winter winds can damage the foliage so protect plants with fleece if temperatures are likely to fall below this. Similarly, pots can be wrapped in bubble wrap to protect them.- Any damage caused by winter cold can be pruned out in the spring.Planting Time:All yearAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

Here's the perfect place to start if you want to cultivate your own Bonsai and enjoy this ancient and fascinating horticultural art form. In it's natural state the Chinese Elm - Ulmus parvifolia often reaches 25m tall yet this specimen - already 7 years old - has been trained by skilful cultivation into perfect miniiature form. Already fully established in its own decorative ceramic planter this beautiful little tree will provide an instant focal point to any well lit room. Chinese Elms, with foliage closely resembling our more familiar native species, are particularly well suited to bonsai culture, readily branching and forming impressive gnarled trunks as they age. They're easy to care for needing only a light trim each autumn to encourage branching. Water well as the compost becomes dry but avoid the tree standing in wet. Feed occasionally with bonsai feed (see below) and your tree should thrive and last a lifetime or more! Your tree will enjoy a summer holiday on a table outdoors, In winter the leaves of this deciduous tree may drop but don't worry - they'll reappear in spring. Be careful and only water very sparingly during this dormant time. *NB Colour of pot is not guaranteed

Please see description below for full product details.The crisp and juicy white-fleshed fruits have what is considered by most to be the perfect sweet/tangy flavour balance, literally providing a flavour explosion with every mouthful. Beautiful spring blossom is followed by gorgeous fruit that will be ready to pick fresh from your tree by mid-October each season and will store well until the end of January if kept chilled but frost free. Growing fruit tress enhances the well-being of the environment and that of you and your family. Crops of fresh, heathy fruit right on your doorstep while replenishing the tree population and reducing plastic consumption. Supplied as a 1.2m tall, grower quality, multi-branched tree, grown on a dwarfing root stock.Top Tips- To produce the best apples, Braeburn needs 6-8 hours of full sun each day. They also grow best in rich, fertile, well-draining soil.- Even though self-fertile, Braeburn will fruit better in the presence of another pollinator.Care GuidePlanting your Braeburn Apple:- Select an appropriate spot with enough space to allow your plants to grow. Dig over the planting site and remove any weeds.- Dig a hole twice the width of the pot, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, then add some good quality fertiliser, compost or well-rotted manure. We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.- Remove the tree from its pot and loosen the roots as necessary.- Plant at the same depth as the tree was in its pot. Spread Mycorrhizal granules in contact with the roots when planting.- Holding the tree upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, so the soil falls back around the roots.- Compact the soil around the plant with your heel to ensure good contact around the roots.- For all trees, use our Tree Planting Kits including stakes, rubber ties and Mycorrhizal fungi, which is proven to aid tree growth and development.- Push 40cm of each stake into the soil next to each tree. Make a figure of eight around both the trunk and stake with a tie and fasten it off.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.- Water the plants at least weekly especially in dry weather for the first 8 weeks.Aftercare advice for Braeburn:- Drought can severely impact the fruit yield of Braeburn so do not allow plants to dry out.- Once established for one season, they will become much more tolerant to a lack of water, as the root system develops.Pruning your Braeburn Apple:- There is no real need to prune trees and shrubs for the first couple of years. Prune established trees in summer using good quality secateurs, removing weak shoots and overlapping branches, to create an evenly spaced bowl shape.- Cut the current seasons branches back by roughly a third.- Unless you are growing in a specific shape, Braeburns only need minimal ongoing pruning to remove damaged, diseased or dead growth.- Prune when the tree is dormant in winter.Planting Time:October - AprilFlowering Time:April - MayFruiting Time:September - OctoberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

Considered the King of Cooking Apples by respected chefs and professional fruit growers. Bramley was raised from a single seed planted by Mary Ann Brailsford in 1809. Since then it has gone on to become the world's best-known and favourite cooking apple, standing the test of time over 200 years! It is considered supreme because its fruits have the perfect acidic flavour required for use in the kitchen; the almost pure-white flesh becomes incredibly light and fluffy when cooked. Bramley is an incredibly heavy cropper once established, with high-quality fruits that will store through the winter months. Pick them in early October (before they get overripe) and store cold but frost-free for use until January. Our grower quality multi-branched trees have been grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock to provide a compact and manageable habit, which in this case will reach 6-7 ft / 2-2.3m tall. It is best to grow Bramley alongside another apple variety such as Braeburn for best fruit set, as Bramley is not self-fertile. Supplied as an established plant in a 5L pot, approx. 90-110cm tall, ready to plant out.
