Planting Guide

Choose the right location
For newly planted trees, water deeply 2-3 times per week during the first year, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Young trees benefit from deep watering once a week during the growing season for the first 2-3 years to encourage a healthy, deep root system. Established trees generally need water only during prolonged dry periods, usually every 2-4 weeks. When watering trees, focus on the drip line√ëthe area under the canopy√ïs edge√ëand use a slow drip method, such as a soaker hose, to ensure the water soaks deeply into the soil.
Prepare an appropriate hole
Choose a pot that is 1-2 times larger than the current pot, ensuring there is adequent drainage to prevent waterlogging roots. Plan on repotting every 3-5 years.
Use fertile soil
Choose soil rich in nutrients and with good drainage to support root growth.
Plant at the correct depth
Plant at the same depth as in the pot, keeping the top of the root ball level with the soil.
Care and watering
Water the plant appropriately, keeping the soil moist but not too wet.
