Planting a Thuja plicata 'Martin'

When planting the Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' 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 planting, as it ensures the plants receive adequate nutrients and water. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can enhance growth. 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 plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant at planting determines the number of plants per square metre. Soil preparation is key to successful planting. Follow the planting instructions for the best results with the Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' hedge.

Pruning a Thuja plicata 'Martin'

Pruning a Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' hedge is important to keep it healthy and looking good. Regular trimming helps the hedge stay dense and neat. It also encourages new growth, making the hedge stronger. The best time to prune a Thuja martin 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 avoid damage to the plant. When trimming, cut back any overgrown branches and shape the hedge to the desired height and width. This keeps the conifer hedge looking tidy and well-maintained. Remember, regular care is key to a beautiful and healthy hedge plant.

Watering a Thuja plicata 'Martin'

The Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' hedge, a popular choice for hedging plants, has a normal water requirement. It is important to water this conifer hedge deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This ensures the roots receive enough moisture. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. Checking the soil is crucial; if it feels dry, the hedge plant needs water. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. For newly planted hedges, watering by hand is necessary until the roots are established, even if drip irrigation is used. The Thuja martin hedge is not highly drought-resistant, so regular watering is essential during dry periods. Proper watering helps maintain a healthy, tall hedge.

Fertilising a Thuja plicata 'Martin'

Fertilising the Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' hedge is essential for its growth and health. Regular feeding helps the hedge grow tall and strong, ensuring vibrant green foliage. Using organic fertilisers is crucial as they prevent root and leaf burn, which can occur with chemical fertilisers. The Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer from Heijnen are recommended for these hedging plants. Fertilise the Thuja martin hedge twice a year, once in spring and again in summer. The amount of fertiliser depends on the size of the conifer hedge; larger plants require more. Fertilisers are absorbed when rain or water carries them into the soil. During dry periods, water the garden after fertilising to help nutrients reach the roots. This ensures the Thuja plicata martin remains a healthy and attractive hedge plant.
