Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant the young tree where it can get at least six hours of sunlight per day. It can’t tolerate hot summers. Nor will they tolerate dry soil, so water often enough to keep the soil moist. Use organic mulch to help the soil hold moisture. Always mix a good organic compoist with the soil when back filling the planting hole to help the newly planted tree establish and begin to spread out its roots.
