Planting a Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant'

When planting the Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' hedge, proper soil preparation is essential for growth. The soil should be well-tilled to improve water drainage and nutrient absorption. This step is crucial before starting to plant the hedging plants. Good soil preparation ensures that the conifer hedge receives enough water and nutrients, with compost mixed into the existing soil. Pot-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during frost. Plants with a jute sack around the root ball can be planted with the sack intact. After planting, it is important to water the Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' until they are well-rooted. The size of the hedge plant determines how many can be planted per square metre. Soil preparation is key to successful planting. Follow the planting instructions for best results with the Thuja brabant hedge.

Pruning a Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant'

Pruning a Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' hedge is important to keep it healthy and looking good. Regular trimming helps the hedge stay dense and maintain its shape. It also encourages new growth, making the hedge look fuller. The best time to prune a Thuja Brabant hedge is in late spring or early summer. Pruning once or twice a year is usually enough. Use sharp tools like hedge shears or a pruning saw for clean cuts. Good tools make the job easier and help prevent damage to the plant. When pruning, cut back any overgrown branches and shape the hedge to the desired height and width. Always remove dead or damaged branches to keep the hedge healthy. Regular care will ensure the Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' hedge remains a beautiful feature in the garden.

Watering a Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant'

The Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' hedge, a popular choice for creating a tall hedge, has a normal water requirement. It is important to water this conifer hedge deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This ensures the roots grow strong and healthy. The best time to water is early in the morning or late in the afternoon to reduce evaporation. Always check the soil to see if the hedge plant needs water. If the soil feels dry, it is time to water. Ensure that excess water can drain away, whether the plants for hedges are in the ground or in pots. For newly planted hedging plants, use a hose or watering can until they are well-rooted. Drip irrigation systems work best once the plants are established. The Thuja Brabant is not highly drought-resistant, so regular watering is essential.

Fertilising a Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant'

Fertilising the Thuja occidentalis 'Brabant' hedge is essential for its growth and health. Regular feeding ensures the hedge remains vibrant and strong. Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent root and leaf burn, unlike chemical options. The Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer from Heijnen are ideal choices. Fertilise the Thuja brabant hedge twice a year, in spring and summer. The amount of fertiliser depends on the size of the hedge plant. Generally, a small handful per plant is sufficient. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them reach the soil. In dry periods, water the garden after fertilising to activate the nutrients. This practice supports the conifer hedge in maintaining its lush appearance and vitality.
