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.

These eye-catching, fragrant blooms make excellent additions to your landscape. The azalea thrives best in USDA growing zones 6-10 and prefers full sun but can also thrive in partial sunlight. They need a minimum of 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Autumn Debutante\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e azaleas will fully mature to a height\/width of about 4 feet making them ideal for smaller spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing a Location: \u003c\/strong\u003eEncore® azaleas can thrive in full to partial sun. In cooler environments, they can take up to 8 hours of direct light. In warmer climates, they will need protection from the hot sun, but still, they need 6 hours of filtered light to bloom properly. Encore® azaleas prefer an acidic, well-draining, moist soil. They perform best with a pH range 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 level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (in the ground): \u003c\/strong\u003eEncore® azaleas are compact shrubs and need to be spaced about 2 feet to form a hedge. They can also 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 container that the plant is in (the root ball).\u003cbr\u003e2) Remove the plant from the container and loosen the roots with your fingers so that they spread out easily once planted.\u003cbr\u003e3) 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 soil pH before adding anything to adjust).\u003cbr\u003e4) Water lightly as you backfill to remove air pockets and water well when done but do not saturate the soil.\u003cbr\u003e5) Broadcast 2-3 inches of mulch around the planting site to help conserve soil moisture, keep weeds\/grasses away, 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. Gradually move the plant into a larger container by repotting every year or so into a slightly larger container. If the soil feels dense along the edges of the pot, that’s a sign that it may be getting root-bound and will need repotting immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Use an acidic soil to fill the bottom of a container that is 2 sizes larger than the container that the plant initially arrived in.\u003cbr\u003e2) Remove the plant from the original container and place it in the center of the new pot.\u003cbr\u003e3) Water the plant thoroughly until the water drains through the bottom. Allow the soil to dry 2-3 inches down before watering again.\u003cbr\u003e4) Place the plant in an area where it gets 4-6 hours of sun, protecting it from hot afternoon sun in warmer climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering (in ground): \u003c\/strong\u003eDuring the first year, your Autumn Debutante\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e®\u003c\/span\u003e will need ample water to get established. During the cooler times of the year, you will only need to water twice a week. Thoroughly water the area making sure that the roots are never in standing water, this can lead to root rot. During the hotter times of the year, they will need to be 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. Encore® azaleas are not considered to be drought-tolerant, so during times of excessive heat, you will need to water even more established plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering (potted): \u003c\/strong\u003eWater your plant thoroughly until water runs through the drainage holes. Allow the soil to dry to a depth of about 2-3 inches down before watering the plant again. Test moisture by sticking your finger in the soil, If it feels damp, wait another couple of days and check again before watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eAzaleas need food in order to bloom for extended periods of time. Fertilize them with a slow-release fertilizer intended for Azaleas. For best results, fertilize in the early spring but be sure to read and follow label instructions as the application will vary by manufacturer. Do not over-fertilize as that can lead to root burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eEncore® azaleas need very little pruning, if you need to prune the plant for the desired shape, do so immediately after the plant has finished its spring flowering.

Fill a small amount of the soil into the hole to maintain the tree’s upright position and water thoroughly. Once the water has absorbed into the root ball and surrounding soil, fill the remaining soil into the planting hole. Pack firmly and water a second time.

Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eDuring the first growing season, use only slow-release fertilizer tablets on your new maple. Any 10-10-10 fertilizer is suitable. Fertilize your American Red Maple twice a month when it is coming out of dormancy and once a month during the summer.

Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrune maple trees during winter or early spring before bud break, when they are fully dormant.

Place a garden hose on a slow trickle next to the base of the tree and leave it there for about 20 minutes minutes. This will allow a deep penetration of moisture to a deeper depth. Potted persimmons will need to be monitored to determine how often to add more water. During the hot season, they may need to be watered every day whereas once every several days in the cooler climates. Since you are using a pot that the tree will be living in for some time, try lifting it. If the tree is heavy then chances are that there is still an adequate amount of moisture to the soil.

When the time does come to prune, your primary focus is to make sure that there is proper light penetration as well as air circulation. In the summer, when new growth is about 4 inches long, choose 6 to 8 shoots for the tree’s main scaffolding. Try to think of the appearance as you would on the face of a wall clock allowing lots of space for the branching. The lowest of the branches should be about 28-32 inches from the ground . Remove all other branches\/shoots at the same time as your pruning. The following winter, cut back about a third of the length of the scaffolding branches. Make these cuts just past outward facing buds on the branch. During dormancy, cut off any dead or damaged branches to maintain health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilize your persimmon with an organic fertilizer formula, such as 10-10-10, when you observe fresh growth beginning on the tree.

Place your tree in the planting hole, keeping the top of the root ball even with the ground. Fill a small amount of the soil into the hole to maintain the tree’s upright position and water thoroughly.

And as always, well-drained soil is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you’ve selected the perfect planting site, dig a hole that’s three times wider than your tree’s root ball and just as deep. Position your tree and make sure it’s level with the surrounding ground and standing straight up. Begin to back fill your hole and gently tamp the soil down to eliminate air pockets from forming. After the planting process is complete give your fig tree a slow, deep watering by holding a hose at its base and counting to 20.

Even if the berries are of no use to you, you can enjoy a lovely cache of birds feasting upon them during the cold of winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"3.25 in. pot","offer_id":13940878114868,"sku":"14632","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 Quart","offer_id":39251212173374,"sku":"13092","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":13940878147636,"sku":"13093","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Gallon","offer_id":32562666307646,"sku":"13094","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13940878180404,"sku":"14631","price":103.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":13940878213172,"sku":"13095","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/products\/Aronia_Chokeberry_BB_600x600_1186f7f7-3df5-4407-9491-95197b19dca8.jpg?v=1762198231"}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.fast-growing-trees.com\/collections\/the-fall-edit.oembed?page=3","provider":"FastGrowingTrees.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
