Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant your shrub in either full sun or partial sun (around 4 to 5 hours of sunlight per day is ideal). This shrub is very resistant to heat, drought, pollution and poor soil conditions, so just ensure you plant in well-drained soil.

Dig a hole large enough to accommodate your shrub s root ball, place your tree, backfill the soil and water the surrounding soil.

If you re planting in a container, select a pot that s about twice the width of your tree s shipped container, use organic soil, and choose a sunny spot for your shrub.

2. Watering: Because of its drought resistance, you only need to water your shrub when you get less than one inch of rain in a week. If you re not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 inches down for dryness.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your tree every spring with a general-purpose fertilizer.

4. Pruning: You can prune to control the size of your tree. Cutting 2 to 3 buds on each branch will allow the tree to produce larger blooms the next season. Since this tree is such a late bloomer, only prune in late fall and winter.
