Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a planting area with full sun to partial shade (4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). They need the sun to develop the pretty red fruits, and while Hollies have both “male” and “female” plants, Nellie Stevens is a variety that produces berries reliably without a “male” around for pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo plant your Nellie (be sure to wear gloves), dig a hole as deep as the tree’s root ball and twice as wide. Remove the tree from the container and place in the hole (this is where the gloves come in handy) If the tree’s root ball is situated lower than the surrounding soil, pick up the tree and add some more soil to the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill in around the tree with a 50\/50 blend of the native soil you removed from the planting hole and a mixture of gardening soil. Mulch around your tree with shredded hardwood or pine straw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eNellie Stevens is fairly drought tolerant. Water new trees twice a week for the first two months. After two months, water once a week up until six months. At that time, the tree will be well-established and will only need extra water if it is very windy and sunny during the winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA good rule of thumb for watering broad-leaf evergreens (trees with wide evergreen leaves) is to water deeply (count to forty on each plant) once a week for the month before the ground typically freezes. If you have several days above 50 to 60 degrees in the winter, it doesn’t hurt to give your Nellie Stevens Holly trees a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eHolly Trees grow tall and shapely without much pruning. If you want a bushier, rounder plant, cut off the top of the tree. This will cause buds in the interior of the tree to sprout and the tree will have a fuller look. You can also hedge or prune these trees for shape. Always cut back to a leaf to hide your pruning cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.

Wait about a half hour after you've finished and then dig down in the soil with your trowel. If it's not wet 8\" or more below the surface, you either haven't watered enough or you watered too fast and the water ran off elsewhere. A gentle soak for an hour or 2 is better than puddling soil around your plants and moving on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watering is the most critical aspect in raising papayas. Water the papaya plants around the root zone. Papayas need plenty of water to grow tasty fruit, but the plants do not tolerate wet feet (saturated soil). To avoid overwatering the papaya, water deeply only when the top 1 inch of soil dries. If the soil isn't moist 8 inches below the surface you'll need to water more. In the winter season the plant prefers to remain as dry as possible. A plant that has been injured by frost is particularly susceptible to root rot. In the summer they can handle all the water you can give them provided the soil drains well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Papaya does not require a second tree for pollination because the male flowers on the tree can pollinate the female flowers on the same tree. However, papaya trees will provide a better fruit yield when there is an additional tree close by. Both insects and wind patterns move pollen between flowers of different papaya plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1) Put on gloves and safety glasses before pruning a papaya tree. The latex sap of the papaya may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.\u003cbr\u003e 2) Remove broken or dead leaves and their stems with anvil pruners or loppers. Use anvil pruners on small stems, under 5\/8 inch in diameter. Loppers are usually used on larger stems, under 2 1\/2 inches in diameter.\u003cbr\u003e 3) Prune all branches, removing them completely. The papaya generally doesn't develop branches unless the stem is damaged.\u003cbr\u003e 4) Cut off any shoots sprouting from the base of the papaya. If the papaya tree is several years old and fruit production is slowing, allow one shoot to grow after the harvest, usually in September. In the spring, remove the main stem and stake the shoot, encouraging it to become a new, fruiting stem.\u003cbr\u003e 5) Revitalize a papaya tree that's grown too tall by cutting the main stem off in the spring, 3 feet from the ground. Cover the remaining stem with a garbage bag to protect it from water or rain. Several shoots will quickly sprout from the base of the papaya. When the shoots are 1 foot tall, select the strongest shoot as a new main stem. Remove all the other shoots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Papaya requires regular applications of nitrogen fertilizers monthly. They can take fairly hot organic fertilizing such as aged chicken manure if used with deep irrigation after warm weather has started.

During the first year make sure to water your tree often enough to keep its soil moist yet not soaked. Pay close attention to your tree during the dry season, so that you can ensure that it receives enough water. Water later in the evening after the heat of the day has subsided.

Another reason to prune is to strengthen the connections of the main leaders to the trunk. Pruning helps form U-shaped junctions so the primary limbs can support leaves and flowers. Prune the tree in early summer after the tree is done blooming. Begin by removing any larger lower branches and branches that cross over each other or rub together. Cut off the branches close to the trunk without leaving any stubs. Stubs allow an entrance for disease and pests to enter. If several branches need to be removed, do it over a course of months so that the tree doesn't go into shock of losing so much of its growth. In late winter, prune any dead and diseased wood. Cut out any tiny twigs and branches that have turned brown.

Place your plant in the hole so that the top of the soil is even with the surrounding soil level. Back fill with a mixture of native soil and compost. These plants like rich soil so you can use a 50\/50 mixture of compost and native soil to add additional nutrients.

Recommended for FULL SUN in USDA growing zones 7-9, with proper care, this crape myrtle will reach a mature height of 20-25 feet and width of 10-20 feet. The leaves that emerge in late spring will be bronze in color and then turn to a deep green during the summer months. Large, royal purple blooms appear in June that stay on your tree all through summer and the bark will also shed its gray appearance to reveal a light pink bark underneath. This will eventually turn into a reddish brown color.

Without the proper exposure your blooming will be substantially reduced or it may not bloom at all. The Twilight is very adaptable to many soil types so just be sure that the area you’re looking to plant has adequate drainage when watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions:\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1) After you have found your planting area, make your hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. \u003cbr\u003e 2) Carefully remove the myrtle’s root ball from the container. Lightly tapping the container around the bottom will help free it up without causing too much damage to the root system. \u003cbr\u003e 3) Lightly comb your hands over the root ball to free up the roots a bit before planting.\u003cbr\u003e 4) Place your tree 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. Crapes need to be able to pull oxygen into their root systems so covering them too much may inhibit their growth. \u003cbr\u003e 5) Tamp down the soil lightly as you backfill the hole to prevent air pockets from forming and then water after you’ve finished to settle the soil.\u003cbr\u003e 6) Mulch the area around the tree to conserve water moisture and deter competing weeds and grasses from growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Myrtles are quite drought tolerant but may need a bit more attention with watering during the hot summer season. Depending on your soil, there may need to be more frequent waterings, especially those with very sandy soils. After planting, water regularly to start. If the climate is hot you may need to water up to five times weekly especially in lighter soils. During the cooler seasons you’ll only need to water once weekly. Proper soil moisture is important in the hot season so that you’ll have a healthier tree and better looking blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crape pruning is always a “mixed bag” if asking anyone when and how to prune. “Crape murder” is a common term heard with those who go far beyond what is necessary when trimming their myrtles. Prune in the late winter before any of the growth begins. If done in the late fall you will jeopardize the tree’s dormancy state which can lead to the tree dying. Sterilize your cutting tools with rubbing alcohol to ensure no pathogens infect the tree and always make your cuts at a 45 degree angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome prefer to chop off all of the branches at a uniformed height every year leaving the stubs for the winter season that form a ball of growth in the springtime. This is good for height control and a uniformed border but can commonly result in knobby stems and bunchy growths that are easily susceptible to disease and aphid pests. This is where the term “crape murder” comes into play. Only a light pruning of the myrtle is needed to encourage plenty of blooms but “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” when it comes to choosing the shape of your crapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a more graceful tree shape, remove all but 4-5 strong trunks and then remove the lateral branches around the bottom ½ of the tree. To encourage branching, make your cuts on the longer, leggy limbs. Try not to over prune too early, do your basic pruning then allow the tree to grow a bit and then continue shaping over time. Remove any damaged, diseased, or crossing branches during the late winter. Also be sure to remove any suckers or low growths to prevent your crape from looking more shrub-like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your Twilight Crape will greatly benefit from an annual feeding of a high nitrogen fertilizer such as a 20-10-10 slow release formula in the early spring season. If you care to fertilize twice, feed the tree again roughly two months later. Slow release fertilizer will cut back on sucker growths but be aware, excessive fertilizing can lead to tree and limb growth but will inhibit the blooms from forming due to excess amounts of nitrogen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vdHZn2Q6wLA?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"2 quart Multi-stem","offer_id":31870410686526,"sku":"10350","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 gallon Multi-stem","offer_id":31801794756670,"sku":"14990","price":90.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 gallon Multi-stem","offer_id":39414168911934,"sku":"14991","price":114.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1-2 feet Multi-stem","offer_id":13940798160948,"sku":"10070","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1-2 feet Single-stem","offer_id":40564850786366,"sku":"18158","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 feet Multi-stem","offer_id":13940798292020,"sku":"10071","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 feet Single-stem","offer_id":42754419851326,"sku":"31115","price":65.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 feet Multi-stem","offer_id":13940798193716,"sku":"10346","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 feet Single-stem","offer_id":40564850819134,"sku":"18011","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4-5 feet Multi-stem","offer_id":13940798226484,"sku":"10347","price":176.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5-6 feet Multi-stem","offer_id":13940798259252,"sku":"10348","price":188.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6-7 feet Multi-stem","offer_id":30328362270772,"sku":"10349","price":229.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/files\/Crape_Myrtle_Twilight_1_FGT_0e891b9a-f27b-4cc7-913e-d476e33f2498.jpg?v=1762198046"},{"product_id":"wintergreen-boxwood","title":"Wintergreen Boxwood Shrub","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCold Hardy, Versatile Evergreen Growth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Wintergreen Boxwoods?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cold hardy Wintergreen Boxwood, also known as Korean Boxwood, is an incredibly versatile shrub.
