Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

How to Water
Water regularly for the first year until the roots are fully settled in. Drought tolerant once established.
How to Plant
Grow chokeberries in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil. Dig a hole around twice as wide as the nursery pot and position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
