🌳 How to Care for Your New Deciduous Tree
Follow these simple steps to help it thrive:
1. Pick the Perfect Spot
- Sunlight: Most ornamentals love full sun to light shade
- Soil: Well-draining is essential
- Space: Think about the mature height and width
2. Planting Your Tree
- Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and just as deep
- Gently remove the tree from the pot, tease out roots if needed
- Plant with the base of the trunk at soil level (not too deep!)
- Backfill with soil, firm gently
3. Water Well
- Give a deep watering at planting
- Continue to water once or twice a week (more often in dry weather) for the first year
4. Mulch Smart
- Apply mulch around the base, but keep it away from the trunk
- Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds
5. Stake if Needed
- Use two stakes and soft ties if your tree is tall or exposed
- Remove stakes after one year to encourage strong trunks
6. Prune for Shape
- Light formative pruning can help shape the canopy
- Best done in winter while dormant, or after flowering (species dependent)
🌿 Why Plant in Winter?
Deciduous trees are dormant right now – meaning they’re resting. Planting during dormancy helps them establish roots without the stress of heat or leaf growth. Come spring, they’ll burst into life with fresh growth and colour!
