'Green Mountain' is an easy to grow, upright, evergreen shrub with glossy green foliage on a vigorous, compact form. Its rounded form makes it an ideal choice for foundation plantings, as deer resistant specimens, or used in containers for year-round interest. This variety can be pruned into other desired shapes or sheared to form a formal hedge. Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Little pruning needed; shapes itself nicely. Remove dead branches trunk suckers or shear any time. When necessary, prune in spring to early summer. Fertilize in early spring, mid-summer and fall with an acidic fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Wrap in burlap or spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation.
