Dig a trench twice the width of the pots, set each plant at the depth it grew in the pot, firm in and water well. Young plants in 7cm pots need watering through the first two summers in dry spells; mulch to hold moisture. Trim lightly once or twice a year to build a dense shape. In Ireland the Wildlife Act restricts cutting hedges between 1 March and 31 August, with limited exceptions, so check the current rules before you trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComparing options?
