#ProPlantTips for Care
Versatile Alpha Upright Canadian Hemlock can be grown without regard to sun conditions. They do need a three-inch layer of mulch over their root systems to keep them nice and cool.
Mulch should not touch the main stem. Please pull it back at least six inches for proper air circulation.
Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis. When it gets dry, drop the hose beneath it and let it soak the surrounding area.
During planting, use Nature Hills Root Booster according to the label directions. You'll set your beautiful new plant up for a lifetime of successful growth, with ingredients that help roots access water and nutrients.
Don't be without at least one of these high-end beauties in your landscape. You'll be back for more, consider ordering several to complete your entire project while we have them in stock.
