Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select an area with well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight). Dig a hole twice as wide as the diameter and as deep as your tree’s root ball. Place your Hearts A’Fire inside the hole, backfill the soil, and water to settle the tree’s roots. Finally, spread 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the planting site to conserve moisture.

2. Watering: During the first year, water your Hearts A’Fire about once or twice weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, check the surrounding soil to about 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water your tree.

After the first year, your Hearts A’Fire can thrive on rainfall alone, but we recommend that you continue to check the soil. Soil should remain moist about 3 inches down.

3. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply compost or a complete fertilizer, such as 5-10-5. Spread evenly around the root zone of the plant according to the label instructions.

4. Pruning: Any desired pruning for shape should be done in late spring, after blooming is complete.
