Product Specifications
- Height on Arrival: 120-150cm inc. pot
- Supplied As: 9L Eco Pot
- Supplied As Expanded: This tree is supplied in a 9L Poly-Pot, which is approx D15 x H30cm. Poly-Pots use 70% less plastic than traditional pots and can be recycled easily. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development and can support a good size tree.
- Spacing: 8m
- Watering: Water in well
- Watering Expanded: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly, only in dry spells when needed. You should be able to tell because the leaves will start to wilt and droop. If a container grown tree, it will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months. Then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year it should have an established enough root system to support itself, just water when required as explained above for bare roots. When watering a tree it is important to give a good soaking. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often as this encourages the roots to grow down into the ground.
- Feeding: Feed lightly
- Feeding Expanded: When planting, replace half the soil from the planting hole with compost. Your Acer will then appreciate an annual light mulch in spring.
