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 well-draining location with full sun for at least 6 hours a day. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and as deep as the root ball, then place the tree carefully and backfill with soil.
2. Watering: During the growing season, water the tree regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Once established, you can reduce the frequency of watering. Be sure to adjust based on rainfall and soil conditions—this will help prevent root rot.
3. Pruning: Pruning should be done in late winter while the tree is still dormant. Trim back any dead or diseased branches to encourage healthy growth. Formative pruning can help shape the tree and increase air circulation, leading to better fruit production.
4. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a balanced fertilizer to provide essential nutrients. Use a slow-release fertilizer that’s suitable for fruit trees. Follow the instructions on the package for the appropriate amounts. Regular feeding in the growing season will enhance fruit quality and tree vigor.
