Planting & Care

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.

Watering Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, this tree is fairly drought-tolerant but appreciates occasional watering during dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

Pruning Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and promote healthy growth. Regular shearing in spring can help maintain a desired size and form, enhancing its visual appeal in your garden.

Fertilizing Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. A second application in mid-summer can encourage lush foliage development.
