Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers full to partial sun with average to moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soil. Plants will tolerate a variety of soil conditions but benefit from soil with organic matter and deep enough to support their root system. Consistent watering is important while the tree is getting established.
