Tips from Syd

When planting, be sure you have the right soil and the right location (sun/shade). Also when you are ready to plant, be sure you have enough room for roots to grow and the foliage to spread.

When fertilizing be sure the roots are treated with a root stimulator. Depending on what you have planted, you will need to fertilize weekly with a granular fertilizer or fertilizer sticks.

Watering is very important! After planting you should water in the early morning if the temperature is going to rise. Trees need to be watered everyday.
