Apply a thick mulch layer to retain moisture and suppress weeds around the base. Water your tree with approximately 1.5 inches of water each week through rainfall or irrigation. During the growing season, fertilize twice monthly with a balanced 10-10-10 slow-release formula, stopping applications as the tree enters dormancy. Prune only during winter or early spring while the tree is fully dormant, removing no more than 30% of the living canopy to minimize stress and prevent excessive sap bleeding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":45814421913786,"sku":"11534","price":200.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/octoberglory_2e929cf4-ae5b-44b7-bcb6-78214c96458c.jpg?v=1777510269","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/octoberglory","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
