Dig a hole twice as wide as your tree's root ball and equally deep, creating a small mound at the center. Position your tree on this mound, spread roots naturally, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets while keeping the crown above the soil line. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture. Water when the top two inches of soil become dry, typically requiring a slow garden hose application for 10-15 minutes. Beginning in year three, apply nitrogen fertilizer in spring, using one-tenth pound of actual nitrogen per year of the tree's age, up to one pound annually. Remove spent flowers and dead branches in late winter to encourage robust flowering the following season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":45814419128506,"sku":"11797","price":416.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/autumncherry_bafb9e18-196f-43e0-bffa-6c9273444383.jpg?v=1777510263","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/autumncherry","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
