Japanese Garden dEsign

Picture


​A Japanese Garden is all about form and feel,  the sense of balance, essence of life and peaceful contemplation.

A Japanese garden should bring the feeling of tranquility with three key aspects: Earth, Water, Plants. Earth is often used in the form of paving with pebbles instead of bark for weed suppression. Water is  used as a flowing stream or water fountain/waterfall and the plants are often chaos contained with every plant taking on a manicured look.

Japanese Maple

10L Pot

Approx 1.5m tall upright bush


Japanese maples are stunning deciduous trees with brightly coloured leaves throughout Spring, Summer, and Autumn. They prefer partial shade, in sites that are sheltered from the wind and have free-draining soil. A great addition to any garden, big or small!


Planting and care instructions:


1, If possible pick a sheltered spot with good drainage. 

2, Dig a hole the size of your bag vertically and twice the width.

3, Place the tree inside the bag in the hole.

4, Loosely fill the hole with loamy soil or potting mix.

5, Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the bag - try not to disturb the newly forming roots much.

6, Stake your tree securely (this allows the new roots to establish).

7, Prune up to one third of the branch length to promote strong fresh growth.


Care for your tree:


Do not over water - Damp is fine. 

Feed each year with acidic fertiliser.

Carefully prune, removing any dead branch ends.
