2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root ball to provide ample space for the roots to establish.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the plant in the hole so the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the plant.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

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