Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑🌾: Select a well-drained location with fertile, loamy soil. Amend it with compost to ensure proper nutrient levels for the tree.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root ball to allow for ample space for the roots to expand and establish.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to help settle the roots in place.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply a layer of mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the tree’s base to retain moisture and keep the root zone cool.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Water the tree deeply during dry spells, especially during the first year of planting. Once the tree is established, water deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Pruning ✂️: Prune the tree to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning after the harvest can also help shape the tree and promote healthy new growth for the next season.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks to provide essential nutrients during the first year. For mature trees, use a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support fruit production.
Protection 🛡️: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests and extreme weather conditions 🌳🛡️.
