Full planting & care

Planting+

Choose a spot with full sun or partial sun and adaptable, well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, set the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground, backfill, and water in well. Space about 15 - 25 ft. from other plants.

Watering+

Drought tolerant once established — water deeply but infrequently, letting the soil dry between waterings.

Fertilizing+

Feed in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for trees and shrubs. A second light feeding in early summer supports vigorous growth. Avoid fertilizing late in the season.

Pruning+

Prune in late winter while dormant to remove any dead or crossing branches and to shape. Minimal pruning is needed otherwise.
