Here's some helpfull tips when planting your Trees: Soak the roots before planting : Avoid planting if there's a frost : Place your tree in a sunny/sheltered position. Help the roots to stimulate and establish more quickly by mixing in some farmyard manure.
Soil improver: organic soil improvers like farmyard manure open up the soils structure, breaking up heavy clay and helping free-draining soils hold on to moisture.

False Cypress. Evergreen conifer with dense foliage, scale-like emerald green leaves and fibrous brown bark. Slow growth. Prune either in June or in September/October, avoid pruning in the hottest months, use only well sharpened hedge clippers. Grows well in any type of soil, provided it is well-drained. Likes windy, cool places in summer, preferably in semi-shade. Use slow release fertilisers. Provide one treatment against fungal diseases in autumn as well as one in spring. One treatment with white oil is advised in winter.
Japanese Holly. Fast growing plant with smooth, green-grey coloured trunk and glossy, dark green leaves. The new sprouts, light green almost golden yellow in March/April, turn intense dark green in May/June. Blooms in June with little white flowers in clusters. Prune from June and after the new vegetation has reached 15-20cm. Prevent excess apical dominance by pruning the apical shoots more frequently as well as the most vigorous ones, in order to preserve the lower or weaker branches. Grows well in neutral or slightly acid pH soils, as long as well-drained. Water regularly using non calcareous water. If grown in a container provide some protection from cold winter wind. Use a slow release fertiliser from March until September. Preventive disinfections with an acaricide from April until September are advised as well as a white oil treatment in winter.
Japanese White Pine. Very slow growth, green-blue needles, rough, platy, grey bark. Produces new spring shoots called "candles" in March/April and replaces the old needles in October.

In October/November it is advised to remove the old yellow needles by hand. Loves well-ventilated places in full sun, both in Mediterranean and mountain areas. Well-drained, neutral pH soil, water stagnation must be avoided, water only when the soil is completely dry. Treat once with a slow release fertiliser in spring. Provide a preventive anti-fungal treatment in winter as well ass a mineral oil insecticide treatment.

Loves cool, ventilated places, preferably in partial shade with well-drained neutral pH soil. Water only when the soil surface is completely dry (intolerant of water stagnation). Use a slow-release fertiliser in spring. A preventive anti-fungal treatment followed by a mineral oil insecticide treatment is advised in winter, as well as an acaricide treatment in summer.
