Planting & Care

Plant your Persian Spire™ Parrotia in a sunny location, digging a hole at least twice as wide as the root ball. Backfill with soil, firm gently to eliminate air gaps, and water thoroughly to encourage root establishment. Water weekly during the first growing season and throughout active growth periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer once each spring to support vigorous growth. Prune only as needed in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or shape the tree—this specimen naturally develops its striking form with minimal intervention.
