Planting & Care
1. Planting: Carefully unpack your tree and loosen the roots. Choose an area that receives full sun (up to 6 hours of sunlight a day) and dig a hole twice the width of the root ball.
Set the tree in the hole at ground level and firmly pack the hole with soil. Water to establish.
2. Watering: Water your Frontier Elm more frequently in the first year. Once established, water once a week. To avoid root rot, avoid over-watering or standing water near the base of the tree.
