Planting & Care

Plant your Iseli® Irish Bell within four weeks of arrival in a location with full sun exposure and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly. Water consistently through the first growing season to establish a strong root system, then reduce watering as the tree becomes drought-tolerant. In early spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer and perform light pruning to maintain its natural shape and remove any dead or diseased branches—avoid excessive pruning and over-fertilizing to prevent weak, straggly growth.
