Planting & Care
Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Dig a hole approximately twice the width of the root ball and just as deep, then amend the soil with organic matter like compost or peat moss before planting. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then reduce watering significantly—this tree thrives on neglect once mature. During extended dry winters, check soil moisture and water only if the ground becomes extremely dry. Fertilizer is rarely needed; only apply a balanced formula if foliage begins losing its vibrant color.
