Complete Care & Growing Guide

Light Requirements

Prefers full sun for the best color development, but can tolerate partial shade. More sun equals more vibrant fall hues.

Soil

Grows well in a range of soil types but prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soils. It tolerates occasional wet conditions better than many trees.

Watering

Water regularly during the first growing seasons to establish a strong root system. Once established, it has moderate drought tolerance but performs best with consistent moisture.

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).
