Care Guide
Watering: Water the plant deeply once or twice a week during the growing season. Reduce watering in the fall and winter to prevent waterlogging
Maintenance: Mulch the soil around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Thin out the interior branches to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration
Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth begins
(Optional):Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer. Use a slow-release or organic fertilizer to avoid burning the roots
