An iconic and instantly recognisable tree. This intriguing and stately evergreen boasts whorls of sharp leaves and are slow growing across the first few years after planting.
They are relatively easy to grow once planted and can be more-or-less left alone, despite their slow initial speed, becoming welcome additions to modern lower maintenance schemes. They can reach an elegant 10m in 20-30 years or so, but can also be trimmed to lower than this.
When planting, select a spot where it can be seen and best appreciated, as they are best grown as a lawn or boundary specimen tree, with plenty of space around them. A real garden design classic - try one now, they make a great gift too!
Supplied as a seed-raised tree 3 years old, 15-20cm tall in a 9cm pot.
Best grown in full sun in well-drained but moist soil.
Fertilise anually with a slow-relese fertiliser and mulch with organic matter in the autumn.
