What is that red stuff under them, really they need nothing other than watering in the first year if you haven’t had rain. I’ve got these growing out of a dry stone wall, practically no soil there at all.
You can over cosset these trees. I’ve never put anything extra on our hedge.
A good cut back does them good, and will encourage them to grow, up to 2’ a year.
They will shoot out from where you cut them, if you cut low, they’ll thicken from the bottom.
