Planting & Care

Select a location with full sun exposure and plant in fertile, well-draining soil for optimal performance. Water consistently during the first growing season to establish a strong root system, then reduce watering frequency as the tree matures. For container-grown specimens, maintain regular moisture levels throughout the year. Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. This hardy tree's natural resilience means it adapts beautifully to various soil types and climates.
