Backfill with amended soil, water thoroughly, and maintain consistent moisture during the first few weeks.

Prune selectively to maintain shape and remove any dead or diseased branches as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":45814300901562,"sku":"17436","price":296.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/sugar-belle-mandarin-fl.jpg?v=1777509959","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/sugar-belle-mandarin-fl","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
