Best planted in autumn or early spring - but spring or early summer planting means you need to pay attention to watering throughout the summer in its first year, until its established itself properly.

Hi Georgine,
we planted a choisya last Spring [choisya ternata] and it's put on a lot of growth since, they do get quite big so allow plenty of room for it [they don't need pruning.]Bamboo is correct, keep it well watered for the first couple of years if weather is dry [ we should be so lucky!] Welcome back to this site.

I always feel a tiny bit envious of people who say "my husband will dig out the shrub... remove the turf...etc. But then, would I really want to relinquish my job?

Thank you everyone for your answers,
very helpful!

Hi steragram, I do feel lucky that my husband likes
and enjoys doing these jobs in the garden, I just
really potter and say where I like plants to be, ha ha.
No seriously I admire the ladies that can manage the
digs etc. Annoyingly I have health complaints that inhibit me in doing any of the heavier work but I do enjoy the lighter garden work.

Kind Regards, Georgine
