Planting and Care

Plant in a sunny site with well-drained soil and adequate space for the mature canopy. Keep the soil consistently moist while the tree establishes. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and prune in late winter or early spring to preserve the weeping form, improve airflow and remove damaged growth. Mulch around the base without allowing mulch to touch the trunk.
