How to care for Erica arborea Estrella Gold:
Plant 'Estrella Gold' with a blend of ericaceous compost and perhaps some ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in the planting hole. During the growing season water regularly, applying a half-strength application of a balanced liquid fertiliser every four weeks. After the plant has flowered trim with shears or secateurs to remove the dead flowers and encourage bushy growth.
