- After Plant Tree & Shrub is a refined plant feed tailored to the needs of all trees and shrubs. Soil grown plants will benefit by being treated during establishment in the first year whilst their root systems and fungal partners develop
- Apply to all pot grown and garden plants to encourage healthy blooms and lush foliage all year round
- Apply in spring at the first signs of growth, throughout summer as required and as an autumn top dress
- For plants in the ground: Apply 1-2 handfuls (25 - 50g) around the base of the plant, lightly worked into the soil and water well. For larger established plants apply 2 handfuls per square meter under the canopy of the plant
- For container plants and topiary: Apply 2 - 3 handfuls per plant twice yearly. We recommend that once per year 5 - 10cm (2-4inches) of soil are removed from the top of the pot and replaced with fresh compost. Add 1 - 2 handfuls when replacing the compost to keep your evergreens in prime condition

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
Karen McEwan
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
