Planting & Care

Choose a location with at least six hours of daily sunlight and well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly deeper than the root ball and twice as wide, mixing in organic fertilizer as you backfill. Water thoroughly after planting, then maintain moderate moisture during the first season. Once established, your White Spruce needs little supplemental watering except during severe drought. Each spring, you may add a thin layer of organic mulch around the base to support faster growth and encourage deeper rooting.
