Water daily for the first week, then gradually reduce frequency to once weekly after the first month. Fertilize twice annually—in spring and mid-summer—using a balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10, keeping the granules six to eight inches from the trunk. After one year, prune during winter to encourage horizontal branch development and maintain tree structure by removing weak or crossing branches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":45814337077434,"sku":"14832","price":152.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/black-tartarian-cherry-tree-ca.jpg?v=1777510068","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/black-tartarian-cherry-tree-ca","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
