Planting & Care

1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil. Dig your hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep.

Place your Natchez in the hole and make sure that the root crown (where the root ball meets the trunk(s) of the tree) is level with the soil surface. Backfill and then mulch the area around the tree.

2. Watering: While establishing, Myrtles may need a bit more attention with watering during the hot summer season. Once they're established, they subsist on rainfall alone, but we recommend watering about once or twice weekly while they're young.

If you're not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 3 inches down for dryness.

3. Fertilizing: Your Natchez will benefit from a light application of a complete, balanced, slow-release fertilizer formula in the early spring and summer.

4. Pruning: Only a light pruning of the myrtle is needed to encourage plenty of blooms. Remove any dead and damaged branches, and prune back to about 4 or 5 strong trunks.
