Montrose Charm White Spruce 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 that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the root ball itself. Carefully place the tree in the hole and backfill with soil, gently packing it around the roots. Spread a 3” layer of mulch three feet around the tree, pulling it back a few inches from the trunk.

2. Watering: Water the tree thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist for the first few months. Once established, the Montrose Charm Spruce is relatively drought-resistant but appreciates regular watering during prolonged dry spells.

3. Pruning: Pruning is generally not needed for this tree, but if you want to maintain its shape or remove any dead or diseased branches, do so in late winter before new growth begins.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize annually in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Ensure the fertilizer is well-distributed around the soil, avoiding direct contact with the roots.
