Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Rowan Mountain Ash establishes correctly, dig a planting hole twice the width of the 7.5-litre pot. Gently tease the roots before placing the tree, ensuring the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil surface. Backfill with high-quality compost mixed with your existing soil. Water thoroughly upon planting and maintain a consistent moisture schedule—especially during the first summer. Adding a layer of mulch around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning should be kept to removing dead or crossing branches, as well as light trimming to maintain your desired height.
