Where to Site Your Prunus Lusitanica ‘Tico’ Pleached Standard
The Prunus Lusitanica ‘Tico’ Pleached Standard thrives best in locations with full sun to partial shade. It should be planted in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to support healthy growth and avoid waterlogging, which can damage the roots. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to keep the foliage vibrant and lush. This pleached standard is ideal for creating eye-catching vertical elements, privacy screens, or adding a sophisticated accent to walls and fences.
Growth and Pruning
This pleached standard typically reaches a height of about 6-8 feet, depending on the size of the frame. The Prunus Lusitanica ‘Tico’ maintains its elegant form with regular pruning. To keep the standard looking its best, trim any weak, dead, or protruding branches and ensure the framework retains its clean, formal lines. Perform a thorough prune in late winter or early spring, along with occasional touch-ups throughout the growing season, to keep the pleached standard in top condition.
