Watering Notes | Water weekly the first year of planting. Once established, supplemental water during periods of drought is usually all that is necessary. |
Fertilize Notes | Feed with a general purpose fertilizer like 5-10-5 when planting. Established plants shouldn't be fed heavily. Use fertilizer at half-strength in the spring as new growth appears. |
Prune Notes | Height can be controlled by pruning but barriers need to be used to control the spread. Significant removal needs to be done several times in a season to control. |
