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.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Taxus in early spring to maintain its shape and encourage dense growth. It responds well to hard pruning, so don’t hesitate to cut back for a more compact form or to remove deadwood.
How to Water
Water Taxus regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but still benefits from occasional watering in dry spells. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
How to Plant
Choose a well-draining spot in partial to full shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water thoroughly. Space plants 90-180cm apart for hedges or individual specimens. Mulch to retain moisture.
