Growing & Maintenance:
In spring, apply balanced fertilizer for acid loving plants according to package directions. Prune to shape immediately after flowering is complete, before next year's buds set. Check soil weekly for moisture. Water thoroughly when dry. Provide adequate water until tree is dormant for the winter. In northern climates, 4-6 inches of mulch is necessary to protect roots in winter.
