Be sure to protect your tree from heavy winds by planting on the sunniest side of a building or your home. When you're ready to plant, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place your tree and cover the roots with soil, watering occasionally as you go along to remove any air pockets that may have formed. Gently pat the soil down until the roots are completely covered. Finally, water the planting site and mulch to help retain moisture in the soil. 2. Watering: Keep the soil around your tree moist, watering deeply about once a week. Once the soil around the tree has dried, water it again. During times of extreme heat, your tree may need additional water. Tip: Yellowing leaves is often a sign of overwatering, while leaves that are dry and brown can be a sign of under watering. 3. Fertilization: After your tree has been in the ground for 6 weeks, apply 1 lb. of a balanced fertilizer formula such as 12-12-12. In addition, apply ¾ lb. of fertilizer in the spring before new growth. Repeat this in the summer and fall, as well. 4. Pruning: Prune for shape and desired look once a year or as needed. Prune your tree in late winter or early spring using pruning shears and making your cuts at a 45-degree angle. Trim away any broken/dead branches and any that are criss-crossing by making your cut right below the dead wood.
