Planting & Care

Select a sunny to partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as your plant's root ball, position the tree so the top of the root ball aligns with ground level, and backfill with soil. Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture as the tree establishes, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Once established, this tough evergreen requires little attention beyond occasional watering during dry spells. Prune only to remove dead branches or shape the plant as desired, though its naturally compact growth habit typically needs minimal intervention.
