Planting and Care Instructions:
- Light Requirements: Plant in part to full sun for 6 or more hours of daily light.
- First Planting Year: Focuses on root establishment. Growth accelerates in the second year.
- Spacing: Plant on 3-foot centers and 2.5 feet from fences or property lines.
Planting Steps:
- Digging the Hole: Dig holes at least 1 foot deep and 1.5 feet wide.
- Soil Preparation: Mix in one-third aged compost or manure to enrich the soil.
- Positioning the Plant: Place the plant so it sits 2 inches above the soil line for better drainage.
- Adding Mulch: Create a donut-shaped mulch ring around the plant base, avoiding direct contact with the trunk.
Watering:
- First Year: Water thoroughly once a week during the growing season (April through October), ensuring roots don't stay soggy.
- Checking Soil Moisture: If unsure, dig down 3-4 inches near the base; if dry, it's time to water; if moist, wait a few more days.
Fertilizing:
- First Year: Do not fertilize.
- Beyond First Year: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in spring starting the second year. Follow the product instructions for best results.
- Avoid Planting in Chemical Runoff Areas: Ensure chemicals from lawn care are not applied within 10-20 feet of the plants to avoid adverse effects.
Additional Tips:
- Protect Young Trees: Use deer repellent or physical barriers to protect young trees from browsing.
- Soil Quality: Mix soil with aged compost to prevent hardening and provide nutrients.
- Drainage: Raise the plant base for better drainage and avoid waterlogging.

Orders containing only hard goods generally ship right away
as the inventory allows. Those items ship year-round and generally within one
week.
When ordering plants during fall or spring shipping, we will
set your order for the next available shipping week appropriate for your
location. April and May are our busiest months, and sometimes shipping delays
happen. Plants may be processed later than scheduled or the shipping department may get behind. This is not the norm, but it does sometimes happen. Please bear with us if this happens.
Our bare-root (field-grown) trees and shrubs typically arrive at the facility for shipping in November, December, and January (for fall shipping) and in February, March, April, and May (for spring shipping).
An example of month-by-month shipping would be as follows, as plants are available:
January - zones 9 - 10
