Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun and prepare a planting hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth. Place the tree, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle roots. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture. Water regularly—about once or twice weekly—until established, then check soil 2–3 inches deep before watering during dry periods. Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season according to label directions. Prune in late winter to encourage vigorous new growth, as flowers develop on new wood.
