#SKYROCKET HOLLY FULL#

So long as the soil is well drained, and not soggy or too moist, then sandy, clay and loamy are all perfectly suitable and once the tree has settled into its new home, it does not even really require watering.

Sunlight and Soilįull sun is certainly preferable and it will tolerate partial shade, however there are stories of shaded trees leaning longingly towards sunlit areas, so full sun is recommended. How lovely it is for us to be able to tell you that it doesn’t. So what of position and conditions? You might imagine that something this pretty is going to have quite a list of specific requirements to which you must religiously adhere for fear of it upping roots and leaving your property in disgust, a sprig of dusky green foliage left in its wake. Of course, as with any naturally architectural plant, you can refine its looks to make them sharper and even more dramatic, but this is not a plant that demands it of you. Actually, that is unfair as you do not have to do anything at all! The lovely lance-like form comes completely naturally and the branches never droop, only reaching ever skyward. These really are picture book pretty and best of all, to achieve this lovely form you have to do next to nothing. Planted either on the side of a gate, pathway or even front door, they also look fantastic in a formal garden lending a stately feel when spaced evenly through a border or bed. Although they work fabulously as wind breaks and screens, the unique form also means it’s a perfect specimen tree.

Of course, it is not all about creating a screen the ‘Skyrocket’ is a wonderful and eye catching tree in its own right. Its narrowness also lends itself to planting between already established screening trees that may not have spread as widely as you had hoped, thus adding a new layer of interest and color to a pre-existing natural fence. The ‘Skyrocket’ sets itself apart from most all of the options when it comes to trees, thanks to its wonderful color and highly unusual and structured form.īecause of their very slender form they can be planted much closer together than larger spreading trees and the tapering effect means it becomes more than ‘just some greenery to stop people peering at me hanging the washing out’. There are a good many natural options available to you for the purpose of screening, whether it is for a sizeable length of your land or just something for a corner. Natural fencing is becoming more and more popular thanks to the proliferation of fast growing trees and shrubs, allowing a much more sympathetic and unobtrusive method of shielding yourself from idly prying eyes. Vines and creepers can be a good way of covering up unsightly panels but often take a long time to grow and sometimes offer problems of their own. Oftentimes we use fences and panels to separate our green spaces and afford ourselves a little privacy, but this can be frustrating when your carefully planned and tended garden finds itself with a stark wooden background. Urban living often means that much of your life is almost certainly viewable, and so if you can screen yourself a little bit, why not?

Privacy is also something that is important when it comes to our property, as most of us are not living in the middle of nowhere without another human being in sight. Privacy is something we all cherish, whether it is five minutes alone with a good book or the latest addictive game offering on your smart phone. We've gotta protect good ole' Mother Nature, after all. While we wish we could serve everyone, it's for the safety of native species and helps prevent the spread of invasive disease & pests. The short & sweet answer is: 'United States Department of Agriculture Restrictions.' Every state has their own unique USDA restrictions on which plants they allow to come into their state.

You'll find we carry young 1-gallons, up to more mature 7-gallons ranging anywhere from 6 inches to 6ft. While the industry-standard terminology is to call the sizes 'Gallon Containers', that doesn't exactly translate to the traditional liquid 'gallon' size we think of. Nursery containers come in a variety of different sizes, and old-school nursery slang has stuck. All tree, and nothin' but the tree! We measure from the top of the soil to the top of the tree the height of the container or the root system is never included in our measurements.
