Last Xmas, I planted three new Privet plants (3 feet high) to fill a

up by the careless pruning of an adjacent tree by a neighbour.

When planting, I dug some bonemeal safely below the roots, whilst
putting some 'Rootgrow' fungus on the roots of the pot-grown plants,
this being the advice received at the time.

Since spring, I've been watering the plants weekly with a watering can
of water plus a high nitrogen feed. They've grown well during the
summer.

My question is, now winter approaches, what care should they get.
Weekly water? Is high nitrogen feed, or anything else, wise over the
winter months?

Just leave them
