How to maintain your Fraxinus Raywoodi once established?
Claret Ash is relatively easy to grow once established.
Water regularly during the first couple of growing seasons while the root system develops. Applying mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds, while an annual application of slow-release fertiliser in spring encourages healthy growth.
Minimal pruning is required, with any structural pruning best carried out during winter while the tree is dormant. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed to maintain a strong framework.
