Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with partial shade to full sun for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Add organic matter to promote drainage and stability.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, this tree is drought-tolerant but benefits from supplemental watering during dry periods.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or crossing branches. This will encourage healthy growth and help maintain its weeping form.
4. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a balanced fertilizer to support leaf growth and vibrant color. Follow package instructions for optimal results.
Key reasons to plant this tree: - Compact size makes it perfect for small gardens and decorative containers - Beautiful burgundy foliage offers a rich color similar to Japanese maples - Unique weeping habit adds visual interest and character to any landscape
