Soil Requirements 🌿: Prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil (pH 6.0-7.5), enriched with organic matter to ensure proper growth and fruiting.

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.

5️⃣ Mulch Around the Base 🌱: Apply mulch or Weed Pro Weed Mats around the base of the tree to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

Watering 💧: Keep the soil consistently moist during the first year of planting. Once established, water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells.
