We have listed the most common questions for you below:

• Good preparation before your hedge plants arrive is to dig a ditch at least 20 cm deeper and 20 cm wider than the root ball.

• If you have bought hedge plants in pots, you dig a trench 35 cm deep and 35 cm wide. When the soil is poorly drained, you can dig the trench deeper and provide drainage in the soil, creating good drainage so that the roots do not continuously end up in water that cannot drain.

• When the soil is not rich enough in terms of nutrition, it is advisable to enrich the soil with soil improver or fertilized garden soil.

• When the temperature rises above 12 degrees, it is important that your hedge plants get good water. 1-3 times a week, depending on the weather, heat and location. The soil should be moist at all times, but not too wet. Remember to always water well so that the water gets all the way to the roots. It is better to water less often and to use more water than to give a little water often. Always check that the soil is wet before watering them so that your hedge plants don't get too much water.

• To ensure that the correct amount of moisture reaches the roots, it is best to use a moisture meter. These are available at most local garden stores and don't cost too much.

• You do not need to fertilize your hedge plants immediately during planting. Better wait until the next spring.

• After planting, your plants now put all their energy into the root system. It is therefore quite normal for the plants to lose some color, turn a little brown and fade after planting. They will turn green and beautiful again once they are well established.

• In the first year, your newly planted hedge does not need to be pruned. From the second year it is recommended to prune / shave the hedge 1 to 2 times a year to keep it taut and beautiful. This is in the spring / fall. When the hedge has reached the desired height, the plants can be “topped”. This means that you cut the tops in 1 line at the desired height. As a result, the hedge will grow into each other more in width and will therefore offer a lot of privacy.

• A frequently asked question is: Should I cover my hedge with winter cover or not? We recommend that you do it when you know it is very windy. This also applies to a newly planted hedge. Thujor and Idegran can get burns if it is sunny and the ground is still frozen. We therefore believe that it never hurts to cover your hedge plants against the strong spring sun.
