Care Instructions
Maintain consistent soil moisture with regular watering during hot July and August valley weeks.
Shelter young trees from scorching afternoon sun and drying winds to prevent leaf-margin scorch.
Mulch root basin with 5-8 cm of organic compost to insulate roots and preserve moisture.
Prune only in late autumn or mid-winter while dormant; never prune in spring due to heavy sap bleeding.
