All,
After advice from here, I have bought a Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum
Osakazuki). It arrived from Crocus.co.uk today, and I will be planting
it tomorrow. Whats the best way to go about this - any tips ?? Should I
add bone meal or anything to the hole before planting ??
Current plan is to soak the root ball in water for 10mins (it says to on
the label..) and then plant it to the top the root ball - and thats
about it!
Soil is that of a new build house - with a reasonably high clay content.
I have already forked a good load of well rotted horse manure into the area.

I'll also be planting an Akebia and a Nelly Moser - any tips for doing
that (close to a garage wall up which they will be climbing) ??
