Planting & Care
Choose a location receiving at least six hours of direct sun daily, allowing ample space for mature growth. Dig a planting hole accommodating the root ball, settle the tree firmly into the soil, and water thoroughly to saturate the root zone. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture. Water deeply once weekly during the establishment phase, then reduce frequency as the tree matures, watering mainly during dry periods receiving less than one inch of monthly rainfall. Apply general-purpose fertilizer annually if growth appears sluggish.
