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 Tayberry plants after fruiting to remove spent canes and encourage fresh growth. Train new canes along a trellis for better air circulation and easier harvesting.
How to Water
Water Tayberry plants deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid waterlogging, as Tayberries prefer slightly drier soil. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water thoroughly. Space plants 90-120cm apart to allow room for their sprawling growth. Consider adding a trellis for support.
