Removing dead, crossing, or protruding branches improves air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back faded flowers during the blooming period can stimulate new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular maintenance ensures the plant remains a vibrant and attractive feature in the garden.

Watering a Taxus baccata P9 15-20 cm

The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, more frequent watering may be necessary. Always check the soil moisture before watering to ensure it is needed. Well-drained soil is crucial, so excess water should be able to flow away easily. Using collected rainwater is a sustainable option. While Taxus baccata is somewhat drought-resistant, newly planted specimens benefit from additional watering until fully established.

Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to ensure optimal health. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them penetrate the soil. During dry spells, water the garden to release nutrients into the soil, allowing the roots to absorb them effectively.
