In the UK, conifers thrive in well-drained soil and can adapt to various soil types. They can tolerate sun to shade and are relatively tolerant of different pH levels. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, and a mix of soil and compost can help provide the necessary nutrients.
Leylandii are the quickest growing, making 60/90cm a year, Thuja doing 30/60cm a year and Taxus being the slowest does 15/30cm, all create dense, structured hedges that offer excellent privacy and security. Regular pruning helps maintain the hedge's shape and encourages healthy, robust growth.
Water conifers regularly, particularly during dry periods and in their first few years, to support deep root establishment. Ensure soil is well-drained to avoid waterlogging.
Prune Conifers early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the plant. Light trimming throughout the growing season helps maintain the desired size and form.
Feed conifers with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth. Mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture and provides additional nutrients.
