Care and Guidance

Position ‘Yasemin’ in a site with partial shade to minimise leaf scorch during summer. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, especially during dry spells in summer. Provide a sheltered spot to protect it from winter winds that may damage the delicate foliage. As the tree grows, it may reach an eventual height and spread of 4 metres, making it suitable for mid-sized garden spaces. Prune conservatively, removing any deadwood or crossing branches to maintain its shape.

Expert tip

Enhance the autumnal display of ‘Yasemin’ by pairing it with complementary evergreen shrubs or perennials that offer contrasting textures and colours. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain moisture and protect roots in winter.
