1. WATERING
- Check the moisture content of the root ball.
- If it is dry, water from above, excess water must drain away immediately.
- Never water by submerging the entire root ball in water, as this can destroy the entire plant.
- If the plant has twisted leaves, this does not necessarily indicate a lack of water, but rather a temporary reaction to transport conditions.
2. PLANTING
- Plant as soon as possible, preferably on the same day. Do not keep the tree in the pot for long. If the day is too hot, plant in the early evening.
- Do not use any fertilizer when planting.
- Check the planted plant and water it daily, especially if the temperature exceeds 30°C.
Remove the tree from the container shortly before planting. Do not dismember the root ball or manipulate the roots in any way!
We usually dig a planting hole measuring 60x60x60 cm. Water should not accumulate in the hole for extended periods after rain. This means that the base of the hole should be permeable. Place the tree in the hole so that the grafting point is at least 5 cm above the ground after planting.
If the garden soil is of poor quality, we recommend using a high-quality growing medium or mixing the soil with mature compost. Never use fresh manure! After planting, drive in a support stake of appropriate thickness and height for the tree. Tie the tree to the stake with a figure-eight loop. Water the newly planted tree with clean water without dissolved fertilizer. If necessary, start adding fertilizer to the water later during the next watering. Be careful not to exceed the recommended dosage specified in the instructions.
