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.

When grown outside in more tropical areas, the mango can take cold snaps that drop as low as 30 degrees.

The best fertilizer is a natural, organic one with mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria. A little gardening secret that Indians used to do that works wonders on mangoes, bury a fish touching the roots of your plant. The fish contains lots of nutrient crucial to a mango in its first years. Potted mangos will benefit from a balanced fertilizer formula such as a 10-10-10 while actively growing. Cut back on feeding the tree nitrogen in flowering period, instead provide a boost of phosphorus and potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeed Control: \u003c\/strong\u003eWeeds steal vital nutrients from the plants around them. The best way to keep weeds at bay and help your tree grow is with pine bark. Placing a one-inch thick layer three feet around the base of your tree will stop the weeds. Also another bonus is as the pine bark decomposes, it will raise the acidity of your soil naturally!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eOn a mango tree the fruit forms at the ends of the branches. Because pruning causes the tree to put on more lateral branches, pruning will give you more mangoes. Mangoes are very forgiving so don’t be afraid to prune them, but don’t go crazy and scalp the thing. Your goal when pruning should be to form an open crown so that light and air can penetrate to the middle of the tree. This will reduce the risk of fungus and diseases. The best time of year to prune your mango tree is right after the harvest; but in cooler areas you will be better off pruning just before the mango starts to flower. Some light pruning of the potted mango is good. These trees do not typically require a lot of pruning, just be sure to remove dead, damaged or diseased branches to help control the tree’s shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination: \u003c\/strong\u003eMangoes are excellent self-pollinators and will produce fruit by themselves.

The roses grow 2 to 3 feet tall, with a lovely spread of 4 feet or more, and are a lower-maintenance alternative to other flower bed grown plants. Apricots are recommended for zones 4-10 but can also be successfully container grown.

Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select a location with bright or filtered sun exposure, but try to avoid direct sun or cooler areas. When you're ready to plant, remove the tree from its pot and dunk the entire root system in a bucket of water. Submerge the tree’s roots and make sure there are no air pockets that may have gotten into the root ball. Shake the tree a little, twist it back and forth in a clockwise\/counterclockwise motion while it is submerged to ensure ALL air bubbles have come out of the root area. Now proceed with the planting\/potting, making sure to tamp down the soil as you back fill to ensure no other air pockets form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, ensure you've selected a pot sized one to two times larger than the pot the tree came in, and be sure it has adequate drainage holes on the bottom. Again, place the tree in an area that will receive 4 to 5 hours of sun each day and will not drop below 60 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water your tree once a week and twice during the hot summer months. Let the soil dry in between waterings during the winter while the tree is not actively growing. Potted trees will only need to be watered 1 to 2 times weekly, with some additional humidity. For extra humidity, spray the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure when to water, check the top of the soil for moisture - if there is any, leave the tree be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shape and growth are the primary reasons for pruning your Benjamina. Cutters that are designed for close\/fine trimming of narrow stems are best. Sterilize your tool(s) with rubbing alcohol to ensure nice, clean cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind a node where the leaf (or twig) joins the branch and cut at a downward angle just before a node. Make your cut close to the node but without actually cutting into it. Leave one node for newer growth to come out on the branch. When removing an entire branch, cut it back to the trunk and be sure not to leave any nodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus Trees are rapid growers and need lots of nutrients. Be sure to feed your potted tree once a month in the spring and summer. Drop down to feeding them once every two months in the fall and winter seasons. A water soluble 10-10-10 formula works well and can be used for either potted or outside trees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"2-3 ft BRD","offer_id":14009959317556,"sku":"11687","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.

Azaleas prefer an acidic, well draining, moist soil. They perform best with a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.5 and you can purchase a test kit at any garden center to verify the acidity of the soil. If your soil is not well draining you can amend it with compost or planting mix which will also help to lower the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (in ground): \u003c\/strong\u003eAzaleas are compact shrubs and need to be spaced about 2 feet to form a hedge, can be used as a centerpiece or a stand alone shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Dig a hole three times as wide and just as deep as the root ball.\u003cbr\u003e 2) Remove the plant from the container and loosen the roots with your fingers so that they spread out once planted.\u003cbr\u003e 3) Backfill the hole with a mixture of your native soil (60%) and compost or garden soil, you can include some coffee grounds while planting to help lower the pH if needed (always test the pH before adding anything to adjust).\u003cbr\u003e 4) Water lightly as you backfill to remove air pockets and water well when done but do not saturate the soil.\u003cbr\u003e 5) Mulch the area with 2-3 inches of mulch to help the plant conserve water and to protect the roots from fluctuating temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (potted): \u003c\/strong\u003eSince these are compact shrubs, they can be kept in a large container as a patio plant.

During the hotter times of the year they will need watered every other day, depending on the weather. Do not allow the roots to be saturated for extended periods of time. Allow the water to seep deeply into the soil to ensure that all of the roots receive water.

The American (sometimes referred to as the “common persimmon”) is native to Kentucky and produces a smaller, richer tasting fruit. Native Americans were known to use the fruit of the american persimmon for a winter food source and the wood for crafting as it is strong and very resistant. They are not known to be really fast growers, but they are quite resilient. The American Persimmon can get to be as tall as 50 feet at maturity and roughly 25-30 feet wide!

Tamp firmly but take care not to compact the soil or the root growth and water flow will be restricted.\u003cbr\u003e6) Water generously and place the tree in a nice full sun spot where it will remain undisturbed for the growing season. Potted persimmons will need at least 8 hours of full sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newly planted trees will require deep watering. Persimmon trees have a taproot that can be difficult to water properly. The best thing to do is leave your garden hose on a slow trickle, and place it next to the base of the tree. Leave it there for a good thirty minutes so the water has a chance to properly penetrate the soil and get down to the taproot. Be sure to do this at least once a month and possibly twice in the hotter seasons. Persimmons are known for their drought tolerance, but young trees need to be watered well in their youth to help the slow developing taproot. Once they have developed for a few years, your natural rainfall should be sufficient in providing the tree water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the potted fuyu persimmon, you will need to closely monitor the tree to get an idea for just how often you will need to water. You may need to water nearly every day in the warmer season. Lifting its container can be useful. If it’s heavy then chances are that the soil still has a fair amount of moisture to it. If it’s light, give it a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold off on pruning your American Persimmon tree for the first couple of years. In the winter season prune the tree into a modified central leader system. Six to eight spaced scaffold branches around the trunk should help support the future fruit. Always keep an open eye for suckers that may form at the base, and be sure to remove them as soon as they’re noticed. These guys can steal nutrients from the primary trunk (or leader) and stunt the growth. Once the trees have matured a bit, they will rarely ever require pruning except for removal of damaged or dead branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e As long as your American Persimmon has new growth measuring at least a foot, then there should be no need to fertilize the tree. If you do find the need to fertilize, try to avoid overdoing it on nitrogen. If the build up has gone too far then it will cause early fruit drop. The recommended approach is to fertilize in the late winter using about 5 to 10 pounds of compost to keep the tree growing well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Persimmons are typically ready for harvesting around September to December. The Asian breeds tend to cling tightly to the branches so you may need to use clippers to remove them. The American Persimmon is a breed that will typically just drop the fruit when it has become fully ripened. If you are having a lot of animals eating your persimmons just before they have a chance to fully ripen there is a great trick to utilize. Put the fruit in a plastic bag with a few bananas for about a week to ten days and place them in a warm room. Bananas throw off a gas called ethylene and will assist in the ripening of the persimmons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":39932143271998,"sku":"11012","price":71.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13940827062324,"sku":"11013","price":85.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":13940827095092,"sku":"11014","price":169.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":13940827127860,"sku":"11015","price":123.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":13940827160628,"sku":"11016","price":216.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":32303502098494,"sku":"11017","price":231.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 ft.
