Can anyone please advise how to care for this plant please? We have one potted either side of our door. They were a very kind gift off a neighbour to replace our dying box hedges (we think they got box blight).

I don’t a hundred percent know what they are, but google suggests they could be white spruces. They get sun in the morning, but are in a shady position in the afternoon. How much should I water them? Will they be okay with the shady location? Is there anything I need to watch out for to avoid another diseased plant? Thanks in advance!

Picea abies glauca conica.

It's a type of spruce and fairly slow growing. There you go 😂

Care-wise they will need a fair amount of watering in hot sunny weather, especially if it hasn't rained for more than a few days. Partial shade will be fine. You can give them a small amount of general purpose fertiliser.

Thankyou for this!
