Planting & Care
1. 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 full sun to partial shade, ensuring well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil, and water thoroughly. Spread a 3" layer of mulch 3 feet around the tree, pulling the mulch back a few inches from the trunk.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during the first year as the plant establishes. Once established, it can tolerate some drought, but regular watering will encourage healthier growth.
3. Pruning: Light pruning can be done in early spring to maintain the desired shape and size. Remove any dead or crossing branches to improve air circulation and overall appearance.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support growth. Follow the package instructions for application rates and frequency, typically once in spring and once in late summer for optimal results.
