Plantation Tips

Choose a sunny, open location with good drainage.
Dig a planting hole wider than the root ball and mix the soil with compost or well-rotted organic manure.
Place the plant at the same depth as it was growing in its nursery container.
Water thoroughly immediately after planting.
Mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture, while keeping mulch away from the trunk.
Stake young plants if the location is windy.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove weak or damaged branches.

Care Tips

Water more frequently during hot, dry periods, especially while young.
Apply organic manure or a balanced fertilizer during the active growing season.
Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches through occasional pruning.
Avoid waterlogging, as constantly wet soil can damage the roots.
Monitor for common garden pests and fungal issues and treat promptly when necessary
