Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, avoiding waterlogging. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball, set it level with the soil, backfill, firm gently, and water well. Space plants 60-90cm (2-3ft) apart to allow their compact, conical shape to develop. Water moderately in the first season; once established, it becomes more drought-tolerant. Mulch lightly around the base, keeping clear of the crown.

Pruning isn’t usually needed, but remove dead or damaged shoots in late winter or early spring, and lightly trim if required to maintain shape.
