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 spot with ample sunlight and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, place the tree in the center, and backfill with soil.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first few months after planting. Once established, water deeply but less frequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions.
3. Pruning: Prune during the late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or unhealthy branches. Regular pruning promotes better airflow and sunlight penetration, enhancing overall health.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Follow the package instructions for the right amount, ensuring not to over-fertilize to avoid root damage.
