Planting & Care

Choose a location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight, ideally with afternoon shade in extremely hot climates. Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep, then position the tree so it sits level with surrounding ground. Backfill gently, water thoroughly, and apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Maintain consistently moist (not waterlogged) soil and water every 2 to 3 days during active growth. Remove any damaged or dead leaves to encourage vigorous new growth and maintain tree health.
