Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun exposure and excellent soil drainage to prevent root complications. Before planting, amend your garden bed with sand and perlite if drainage testing reveals water retention issues. Water deeply after planting, then allow the top two inches of soil to dry between waterings—overwatering invites root problems. Feed younger trees monthly with a balanced fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, and magnesium; reduce to three or four applications yearly as the tree matures. Prune selectively throughout the year to remove crossing branches, dead wood, and low growth near the base for a stronger, more stable structure.
