Planting & Care
Select a planting location with full sun exposure and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but equal in depth, then backfill and water thoroughly to settle roots. Apply mulch around the base while keeping the area immediately near the trunk clear. During establishment, provide weekly watering in summer months, then reduce to as-needed supplementation once mature. Beginning in year two, apply nitrogen-rich fertilizer in late spring, and prune dead or diseased wood in late winter after frost danger passes.
