Should I feed the tree?

Troubleshooting
Leaves wilting after planting
This is usually caused by transplant shock or lack of water. Increase watering frequency and ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Tree leaning in high wind
If in a container, ensure the pot is heavy enough or move to a sheltered spot. If in the ground, install a sturdy stake at a 45-degree angle to provide support without damaging the roots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your tree arrives, remove the packaging immediately and ensure it is well-watered. If planting in a container, use a high-quality loam-based compost to provide weight and nutrient retention. If planting in the ground, dig a hole to match the depth of the root ball and enrich the backfill with compost. Water the tree thoroughly during the first growing season, especially during dry spells, to help it establish. Pruning should be kept to a minimum, focusing only on removing dead or crossing branches in late winter.
