Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
Companion Plants
Small shrubs that need some protection work well under this tree, such as Lanarth White Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Lanarth White') or, for more color, the deep pink of Buttons 'N BowsTM Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Monrey'). Lenten Rose (Helleborus x hybridus Royal HertiageTM Strain) would also enjoy the protection of the canopy.
