Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5), enriched with organic material for the best growth and fruiting.

2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball to allow enough space for root development and expansion.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, press gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth around the base of the tree.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune annually to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the tree for better airflow and fruit production.
