- Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
- Backfill the hole with soil, tamping gently to remove air pockets.
- Water thoroughly after planting.
Compatibility:
This ornamental tree is compatible with most garden settings and can be planted alongside other shrubs and perennial flowers. It thrives in temperate climates.
Care:
- Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish the root system. Reduce watering in subsequent years, watering during prolonged dry spells.
