How to Plant & Grow SEH Mayhaw Trees

Sun Requirements 🌞: Full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day is required to promote strong growth and optimal fruiting.
Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5) enriched with organic matter.
Spacing 🌳: Space trees 10-12 feet apart to ensure healthy growth, good airflow, and enough room for the tree to expand.
Mature Size 🌳: The SEH Mayhaw Tree reaches a mature height of 12-15 feet, making it suitable for small to medium-sized orchards or backyard gardens.

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Soil 🧑‍🌾: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Amend with compost to improve fertility and structure.
2️⃣ Dig a Hole 🕳️: Dig a hole that is at least twice the size of the root ball to provide ample space for root growth.
3️⃣ Position the Plant 🌿: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil surface.
4️⃣ Backfill & Water 💧: Fill the hole with soil, gently pressing it down to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly to settle the roots in place.
5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the tree to help 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, especially during dry spells.
Pruning ✂️: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood and to shape the tree for optimal growth and fruit production.
Fertilizing 🍃: Apply Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Paks during the first year to encourage strong root growth. For mature trees, apply a balanced fertilizer annually in early spring to promote healthy fruiting.
Protection 🛡️: Use Max Growth Tree Shelters to protect young trees from pests, cold weather, and strong winds 🌳🛡️.
