It’s best to water your tree once or twice a week. Be sure to water correctly - light green leaves are a sign of over watering, while drooping leaves can signify both over- and under-watering. Watch for these and any other signs that your tree is getting too much or too little water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you choose to fertilize, do so sparingly in April or May.

When this occurs, your tree’s leaves will fall off and the stem will turn brown. Above ground, nothing will take place during this time, but the roots of your tree will continue to grow beneath the surface. This winter root development will accelerate the growth of your tree come spring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":48860127330474,"sku":"11955","price":11.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":48860127363242,"sku":"11890","price":12.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":48860127396010,"sku":"30476","price":14.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":48860127428778,"sku":"11892","price":17.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":48860127461546,"sku":"11893","price":20.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":48860127494314,"sku":"11894","price":21.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/qr6tz5wtm88g_ea6f161c-4d9d-4e3d-b32b-d38d9aed7fca.jpg?v=1784864228","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/celestial-shadow-dogwood-tree-l0lzbr","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
