Planting & Care
Select a location receiving at least six hours of sunlight daily, providing afternoon shade in hot climates. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, then position your tree so the soil line matches ground level. Backfill gradually, watering every few inches to eliminate air pockets, and apply mulch to retain moisture. Water once or twice weekly during the growing season, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry between waterings. In early spring before flowering, apply a balanced fertilizer following label directions. Remove only dead, damaged, or crossing branches; deadheading spent flowers encourages heavier blooming the following season.
