How to Plant 
There’s nothing to planting shrubs. Plant- 
ing directions are included with every order 
but generally you set low growers about 2 ft. 
apart, medium growers 3 ft., and tall grow- 
ers about 4 ft. apart. Spread roots out well, 
tamp earth back SOLIDLY, and prune back 
one-third to one-half of the growth. PRUN- 
ING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as 
the top must be cut back to compensate for 
the loss of roots,
