Planting & Care

Select a sunny location with well-draining soil and dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep. Set your tree in place, backfill with soil, water thoroughly to settle, and apply mulch around the base. Water consistently each week, adjusting to keep soil slightly moist during winter dormancy and allowing the top two inches to dry between waterings during active growth. Once established and producing fruit, perform light pruning during the dormant season to remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches—this promotes better fruit quality and overall vigor.
