Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil to plant your tree. Dig a hole that is twice the width and depth of the root ball. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the graft union is above soil level. Backfill gently, watering thoroughly afterward.
2. Watering: Water your tree regularly during the first year, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, it prefers moderate moisture; avoid overwatering, which could lead to root rot.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain a balanced shape and promote good air circulation. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to encourage healthy growth.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support growth. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for application rates, and consider using organic options for a gentle nutrient supply.
