Planting & Care

Select a sunny location and dig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball at the same depth. Set the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply mulch around the base—keeping it away from the trunk. Water consistently each week, adjusting for hot or dry weather by checking soil moisture 2 inches deep. Fertilize in late winter or early spring using a fruit tree formula, then prune during dormancy once the tree is established and bearing fruit, removing any vigorous upright growth, dead wood, or damaged branches.
