When to Plant
The Christmas Berry Tree is for display indoors over Christmas & can be planted
in the garden or a tub in January.
Planting in Gardens
Prepare a hole twice the size of the pot. Drive in a tree stake a little off
centre. Tease out any matted roots. With the top of the compost 15mm above
surrounding soil tie tree firmly to stake. If possible choose a sunny spot,
sheltered from the prevailing wind. If the soil is poor dig a large hole
(1 m x 1 m x O.5m deep) and fill it with good loam soil and/or planting compost.
Coronets grow satisfactorily in most garden soils. However wet soils (subject to
waterlogging) are unsuitable.
Planting in Tubs
Coronets are ideal for containers, you can have an apple tree even if your soil
is unsuitable. Pots should be at least 25 litre. Plant firmly in fertilised compost
with the old soil mark at the top of the compost.
Watering
No watering is required when displayed indoors over Christmas. Water thoroughly
after planting and in dry weather in the first year. Trees in tubs must have moist
compost throughout the year.
Staking
Coronets need permanent staking. Use a long lasting stake. Tie the tree firmly
using an adjustable strap tie or stretchable material.
