Choysia Sundance Hedge
Ok, so I have just planted up 36 Choysia Sundance plants to form a hedge. (3/metre)
The plants are between 30 - 40cm in height, and are all in good health.
The plants went in at the weekend.
My question is, how long should I let them settle in before I begin to cut them into shape? (Nothing fancy, just a ... standard, hedge shape).
I want to make sure I can get these plants as dense as possible.
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks Verdun,
Ok, I will wait until April. I thought as much. Last thing I want to do is put them in shock.
Thankfully, they are spaced about 30cm apart with 3 plants every 100cm.
The plants are in a raised wall bed that surround my driveway. I had removed half the soil, and sieved as many stones and roots out from the remaining soil. I then added some lime soil conditioner, and replaced all the removed soil volume with new sterilised top soil. Each plant was give a little "Root Grow" granules under the roots.
With all that in mind, how often would you think I would need to feed the plants?
I will try and get some photos up so it looks more clear.
Yes! I am very much looking forward to the citrus fragrance and I love the changing golden/lime green foliage on this variety.
I have added in dates into my diary as you have suggested.
Thank you for your guidance on this. I am now going to add another post about some Buddleia cuttings I took at the end of last summer
