Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Reduce frequency once established in the landscape; continue to water container plants regularly. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Allow the top inch of soil in the pot to try out in between waterings. Potted trees will need to be watered more often than trees planted in the ground. We are using 4 cups of water once a week.
Pruning the potted tree more than once a year may be necessary to keep the tree within its space constraints. Pinching off the growing tips will promote growth, removing branches will provide more space.
Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Fertilize twice a year, using a small amount of any slow-release fertilizer
