#ProPlantTips for Care

Provide Low Scape Hedger at least four hours of sunlight a day. Please note that the more sun they receive, the more fruit they’ll produce.

Chokeberry is blissfully easy care. They’ll put up with soils that get periodically wet and dry. However, we do recommend that you supply a moderate amount of water on a regular basis to keep them at their tip-top health.

Add a three-inch layer of mulch over the root zone. Please pull the mulch back to avoid directly touching the stems.

Wait until after the spring flowering is done before you prune any crossing or damaged branches. Cut at a 45-degree angle above an outward-facing bud for best results.

Although these aren’t a favorite, we advise the use of Deer Repellent spray if you live with hungry deer in your area. Use it on the first day you plant, and follow directions to reapply.

Include Low Scape Hedger Chokeberry for a glossy, professional look. You’ll appreciate their unfussy nature and many ornamental attributes. Order today!
