Planting & Care
Plant within four weeks of arrival in a full-sun location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, position the tree at the same depth, backfill with native soil mixed with compost, and water thoroughly. Apply a 3-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it several inches away from the trunk. During the first growing season, water deeply twice weekly to establish a strong root system. Once mature, this tree needs minimal water except during extended dry periods. In late winter, prune away dead branches and maintain an attractive shape with no more than five main trunks, avoiding the topping practice that weakens the tree. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous blooming.
