How to care
Aspect
Sunny and Partial
The Bay Tree and Ivy both thrive in the sun and can tolerate part of the day in the shade.
Care Level
Low maintenance
Water regularly. Once established, prune the Bay Tree twice a year, to maintain desired shape. Be patient with the Bay Tree, it is a slow grower. Ivy can handle more frequent trimming.
Watering
Regularly
Little and often. Both the Ivy and the Bay Tree like moist soil.
Feeding
Compost when planting
Plant with a good quality, peat free compost and add a layer every spring to ensure nutrients feed through to the roots.
Soil
Compost
Ensure the soil is well drained. When planting add a drainage medium, such as grit or crocs, to encourage better drainage.
