Why Tree Fertiliser is Ideal as Buxus Hedge Fertiliser

Tree Fertiliser is specially formulated to provide balanced slow-release nutrients perfect for hedging plants like Buxus. These hedges are known for their tight, compact form, which means they have high nutrient demands—especially nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and trace elements. Tree Fertiliser releases nutrients steadily over several months, ensuring your Buxus receives continual feeding without the risk of burning.

Unlike generic fertilisers, this blend is engineered for the steady, moderate feeding Buxus needs to encourage strong root growth, dense foliage, and robust health through all seasons. Tree Fertiliser also helps protect against common Buxus issues such as yellowing leaves, reduced growth, or susceptibility to pests and disease.

How to Apply Tree Fertiliser for the Best Buxus Hedges

For established hedges, apply Tree Fertiliser evenly around the base in early spring and again in late summer. Lightly work the granules into the top few centimetres of soil, then water well. For new Buxus plantings, mix Tree Fertiliser into the planting hole. Consistent use ensures lush, deep green foliage and healthy hedge structure.

Here’s a step-by-step guide: - Measure the length of your hedge to calculate how much Tree Fertiliser you’ll need. - Clear away mulch and debris at the base of the hedge. - Apply the fertiliser at the recommended rate. - Lightly rake into the soil, taking care not to damage surface roots. - Replace mulch and water well.

For maximum impact, pair this with high-quality potting media like Nursery Grade Growing Media when planting new Buxus, ensuring great drainage and root establishment.
