Complete Care & Growing Guide

Light Requirements

Thrives in full sun for best foliage color but tolerates partial shade with slightly reduced intensity.

Soil

Highly adaptable to many soil types, including clay and sandy soils. Prefers well-drained soil but tolerates less-than-ideal conditions.

Watering

Moderate watering needs. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment; once mature, it is moderately drought-tolerant.

Pruning

Prune after flowering to maintain its tree form and encourage healthy new growth. Occasional thinning improves airflow and structure.

Uses & Landscape Benefits

Ideal as a colorful specimen tree in garden beds or front yards
Perfect for small landscapes and patio plantings
Adds vibrant contrast in mixed borders and perennial gardens
Works well in modern, cottage, or naturalized landscapes
Provides year-round interest with bark and foliage variation

Planting & Care

1. Planting: This is a large landscape tree and as such, requires a bit of planning before planting. First, measure the area where you would like to plant your hedge or row. You will need the length of the area of planting to estimate the number of trees you need.

When planting, dig a hole for each tree that is three times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. Place the tree, fill in around the tree with the same soil you took out when initially digging the hole. Finally, tamp down as you fill to cut back on any air pockets from forming, water the tree, then mulch to conserve moisture.

2. Watering: For the first two weeks, water your new tree every other day by holding a hose around it and counting to 20. If you don’t have a hose, 2 large watering cans full of water will do (smaller trees may only need a light soaking so a single can may suffice).
