Watering Notes Water deeply if rainfall is less than 1" per week especially for the first 3 years after planting. After roots are established, water deeply in extreme weather situations.
Fertilize Notes According to Missouri Department of Conservation, trees seldom need to be fertilized even when planting. But it may be used to increase growth rates. If the tree is weak or distressed, fertilizer should only be applied sparingly.
Prune Notes General maintenance pruning is all that is needed. Thin the branches as the tree grows. Remove branches that have formed crotches of less than 45 degree angle. Prune branches that cross over each other, removing the smaller of the two.
