Water well to settle the roots, and consider mulching around the base of the tree to conserve moisture and control soil temperature.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf planting your Hummingbird Tree in a container (recommended for growing zones 8 and up), choose a container that's one to two sizes larger than your shipped container, with good drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering: \u003c\/strong\u003eAlthough your Hummingbird Tree can tolerate drought once established, it prefers moist soil.
