Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting:

  1. Choose a planting site with full sun exposure.
  2. Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained.
  3. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball.
  4. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
  5. Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the roots.
  6. Water thoroughly after planting.
