Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but no deeper than the root ball itself. Backfill carefully and water thoroughly.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, this tree appreciates moist soil and will benefit from deep watering in times of drought.

3. Pruning: Shearing can be done in spring after frost has passed to help maintain a tidy form.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
