Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, remove the bespoke packaging immediately to allow the foliage to breathe. If planting in a container, select a large pot that offers stability to prevent the tree from tipping in high winds. Ensure you use a high-quality, free-draining potting mix. For ground planting, dig a hole twice the width of the current pot and ensure the root ball is level with the soil surface. Water the tree thoroughly after planting and maintain a regular watering schedule during dry spells. As a hardy tree, it requires minimal intervention, but routine checks on the soil moisture and occasional light pruning to maintain its desired shape are recommended.
