Tips for Care

Plant it in full sun, where it can soak up at least six hours of sunlight a day. They’ll also need well-drained soil, as their roots won’t tolerate standing water or wet soils.

Grow them on slopes or create planting mounds, if you need to improve drainage. You can also plant them “high”, to leave an inch of the nursery dirt showing, then pull mulch over to cover.

For investment plants like this, we highly recommend Nature Hills Root Booster to give life-long support. The symbiotic ingredients never stop helping the feeder roots access micronutrients from your soil.

Water consistently for the first season to get their roots established. After that, this waterwise selection only needs supplemental water during extended drought.

Weed mass plantings regularly to remove volunteer trees. Wear gloves to protect your hands, even though this variety is much softer than others.

Prune in early spring to shape, if needed. Remove a few of the longest branches back to the base, and avoid simply chopping the length.
