This week on The HortiCulturalists we return to the wonderful Conifer Gardens Nursery to look at their mature garden of incredible conifers and learn some basic dos...and don'ts! when it comes to growing this group in your garden. We'll look at which conifers can be pruned to make hedges, take a look at cloud pruning, learn how to go about planning where to use conifers, some of the pitfalls to avoid and look at some of the enormous variety in colour, form and texture of this vast group of plants. All the conifers we'll look at are listed below and all available from Conifer Gardens Nursery. They can only ship within Australia and contact them directly if you are in a quarantine state. Many thanks to the team for making us so welcome and if you want to learn more, plan a visit or see the full plant list, you can here: https://www.conifer.com.au/ourproduc...
