  3. Planting Depth: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth. Place the root ball so the top is level with the ground.
  4. Watering: Water deeply after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first few years to establish deep roots.
  5. Mulching: Spread a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds. Avoid letting the mulch touch the trunk.
  6. Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter to remove dead or damaged branches and maintain shape, if needed.
