tassel bush

Tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) should be watered once a week during the summer months and every 2 weeks during the winter months. The amount of water needed for each watering will vary depending on a number of factors, such as soil type, temperatures, and humidity. Generally, a tassel bush should be watered until the soil feels evenly moist but not soggy. Be sure to avoid overwatering, as this could lead to root rot. Watering in the morning helps to decrease the risk of fungal diseases.

Tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) is an evergreen bush that usually grows best in full sun or partial shade. It requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. To assure sufficient sunlight, plant the tassel bush in a site that receives afternoon sun and some morning sun in spring and summer months. In regions with cooler climates, further protection may be desired by planting them in locations with some protection from the wind. Part shade in these climates may also be beneficial by avoiding too much heat during the hottest parts of the day. Tassel bushes typically bloom in late winter and can tolerate some light shade during this season.

Tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) should be pruned in the late winter or early spring, just before new growth appears. Prune to shape the plant and to remove dead, diseased, or unwanted branches. It is best to prune the tassel bush when it is small so that the pruning process is less damaging to the plant. When pruning the tassel bush, remove no more than 1-third of the total plant growth at once. Pruning more than that can result in inadequate regrowth and can cause considerable damage to the plant.
