Griselinia Ardmore Emerald - Field-Grown
Notify MeOur field-grown Griselinia Ardmore Emerald is a great option for those after a developed, mature shrub that is sure to provide an instant impact.
It thrives in a wide range of soils but prefers well-drained, fertile ground. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and tolerates coastal exposure.
Its dense, bushy nature makes it an ideal hedge or screening plant, providing privacy and protection from the elements. Besides being a great specimen plant, this plant is also great for mixed borders, adding a lot of interest to any garden.
At maturity, Griselinia Ardmore Emerald can grow to 3-4 metres tall. However, with regular pruning and maintenance, it can be kept smaller, depending on your garden design and personal preference. Its moderate growth rate allows for easy management and shaping to desired sizes.
Field-grown plants are grown directly in open fields, enabling their roots to spread and develop naturally, resulting in larger size, established root systems, and increased resilience. When transporting these plants, hessian, a coarse fabric made from natural fibres like jute, is commonly used to wrap their roots, providing protection during transportation and handling.
Trimming: Regularly trim Griselinia Ardmore Emerald to maintain its desired shape, especially if used as a hedge. Trim in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to encourage robust growth. Repeat in mid-summer if necessary.
Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods to maintain healthy foliage.
Pest Control: Watch for common pests such as aphids and scale insects. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Disease Management: Griselinia is generally disease-resistant, but watch for signs of root rot or leaf spot. Ensure good drainage and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Remove and dispose of affected leaves to control leaf spot.
