Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the second two weeks, switch to watering every three days with the same method mentioned above. After the first month, water once a week unless it is dry and hot (no rain and temperatures above 80 degrees). If it is hot and dry, water twice a week. After the first year, the trees will be established and won’t need any extra water.

Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou won’t have to prune this tree if you are growing it with enough space for it to maintain its naturally graceful pyramid shape.
