Garden Gems Redbud Citrine Tree

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location with full sun or partial shade and ensure well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was grown in the pot.

2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot and dry periods. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. A deep soak every few weeks is beneficial to establish a strong root system.

3. Pruning: Light pruning is recommended to maintain shape and encourage growth. Prune in late winter to early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or crossing branches to promote air circulation.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates, and avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the tree.
