Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, position the shrub at the same depth it was growing, and backfill while tamping gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch to suppress weeds. During the first growing season, water weekly; once established, natural rainfall typically provides sufficient moisture except during extended dry spells. In late winter or early spring, remove any dead or damaged branches and prune as needed to maintain your desired shape. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring as new growth begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":45814324035770,"sku":"13772","price":89.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/dwarf-mugo-pine.jpg?v=1777510033","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/dwarf-mugo-pine","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
