Plant info

Planting

Timing: Best planted in early spring or fall when the ground is workable.
Location: Choose a spot with partial shade or full sun (in cooler climates) to protect the foliage from scorching.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter.

Plant care

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Regular watering is especially important during dry periods.
Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in spring before new growth appears.
Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Mulching: Add a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

5 Short Tips for Success

Choose the right spot: Partial shade is best for vibrant foliage.
Protect from wind: Shelter the tree from harsh winds to prevent leaf scorch.
Mind the roots: Avoid disturbing the shallow root system during planting or mulching.
Water wisely: Ensure consistent moisture, especially in the first few years.
Feed sparingly: Over-fertilization can cause leggy growth, so less is more.
