FAQs

What is the best time of year to plant this tree?

This tree is hardy and can be planted year-round. However, spring and autumn are generally the best times to minimize transplant shock.

How large will this tree grow if planted in the ground?

When planted in the ground, the Prunus Asano will reach its full potential size, which depends on the specific cultivar's mature height and growing conditions. It is an established tree at 6ft, implying significant growth potential.

Can I keep this tree at a smaller size on my patio?

Yes, by growing it in a large pot (100L or more) and pruning regularly, you can manage its size effectively.

What kind of soil does the Prunus Asano prefer?

This tree is suitable for most soil types, provided they are well-draining.

Does the tree come with care instructions?

While specific instructions may vary, general care involves regular watering, appropriate pruning, and consideration for its planting location (ground or pot).

How is the tree packaged for delivery?

The tree is delivered securely in bespoke, high-quality, sturdy live tree boxes designed to protect it during transit.

Troubleshooting

Tree appears wilted after delivery

Ensure the root ball is moist. Water thoroughly and allow the tree to settle for a few days. Avoid immediate transplanting unless necessary.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture, adjust watering, and consider a balanced fertilizer in spring.

Limited growth in a pot

Ensure the pot is large enough (100L+). Check for adequate sunlight and water. Repotting into fresh compost may be beneficial.
