CONIFERS
Here at The Mill Garden Centre, we’ve specialised in growing conifers for over 50 years.
Our conifers
We supply a range of Conifers such as Abies, Cedrus, Chamaecyparis, Juniperus, Taxus and Thuja.
We also have an extensive range of grafted Conifers. These conifers make ideal specimen plants for rock gardens, conifer gardens, gravel gardens or as feature plants in ornamental containers. Pinus Mugo Wintergold is a classic example of a grafted pine with stunning golden yellow needles all winter.
If there is something special you require, please contact us in advance to see if we have availability.
Caring for your conifers
Most of the grafted conifers available require a well-drained site, particularly members of the Pinus family, although most Piceas will tolerate damp sites.
The addition of good quality compost before planting is essential to provide good growing conditions where garden soil is heavy.
Nearly all varieties of grafted conifers are happy in most locations, although a few require more sheltered sites.
Fertiliser requirements are - bone meal when planting, a light application of fish, blood and bone meal in early summer or liquid Maxicrop seaweed fertiliser monthly from May to September should suffice.
