Preparation and Planting Instructions:

Handling and Preparation of Willow Rods
On receipt of your Harlequin materials, take them out of the packaging and place the willow rods standing upright in a bucket of water for 3-6 days (keep in the shade and cool where possible).

Assembly
- Lay the willow rods out in a lattice pattern.
- At each cross-over fasten lightly using tie wraps provided allowing room for growth in the stems.
- At each end, curve the stems upwards and attach to the ‘finishing’ rods using the ties provided.
- Once assembled the Harlequin can be rolled up and placed back in water to soak prior to planting.

Ground Preparation
Dig a trench - minimum 30cm (12inches) deep and fill with water and allow it to soak in.

Installation
- Roll out the Harlequin along the side of the trench, tidying rods and joining rolls together where required.
- Stand the Harlequin upright in the middle of the trench, hold vertical using temporary stakes if required, and back fill with soil, firming the soil in as you go. The harlequin will normally be self-supporting and not require permanent stakes.

Watering
- Once fully planted, soak the soil and sprinkle the upper rods.
- Thereafter, water as frequently as possible (a watering can per day for the first two weeks) to ensure rods remain moist while establishing and rooting. Thereafter water less frequently, but ensure the harlequin remains in moist soil for the first month at least.
- When watering also sprinkle the whole of the rods to minimise drying out of upper rods during establishment – this is particularly important should warm windy weather occur in the first few weeks.

Maintenance
- Occasional trimming will help bushing out.
- Fertilise twice yearly to maintain healthy growth and colour.
- New side growth through the spring and summer should be woven in and out of the structure. Any excess can be trimmed back.
- Cut back long top growth in the winter to the height of your original harlequin hedge.
