Moisture: Water regularly as needed. Water regularly during first growing season to establish deep root system.
Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. 1. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. 2. Set the tree in place so the crown (part of the tree where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. 3. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Prune annually during early spring to remove dead, diseased, crossing, or damaged branches. Prune to shape.
