Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Trees which have a trunk less than about two inches in diameter often require staking and some early pruning to prevent leaning and blowover due to a heavy crown and unstable root system.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Late Autumn
Propagation is by seed, summer cuttings, or grafts.
