Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equally deep, then backfill with native soil blended with garden soil. Water regularly—about once weekly—and apply mulch to suppress weeds. During the first season, use mild, slow-release fertilizer; once established, feed twice monthly in early spring and monthly through summer. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing center growth tips to encourage bushier branching and lifting lower limbs to increase height.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45814262104250,"sku":"30222","price":1097.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/sherwood-compact-norway-spruce-tree_d2239303-97ec-4890-9304-5e109a2928fa.jpg?v=1777509750","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/sherwood-compact-norway-spruce-tree","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
