Planting & Care

Plant in spring or fall in a hole two to three times wider than the root ball, spacing multiple plants about 5 feet apart for hedge applications. Water consistently during the first year to establish a strong root system, then maintain moderate moisture as the plant matures. Apply 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch around the base to aid moisture retention. Feed annually in spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving evergreens. Prune lightly in late spring if needed to refine the conical silhouette and remove any damaged branches.
