Caring for your tree
In the first year after you’ve planted your tree seedling outside, you will need to water it weekly from late spring to early fall in its first year. We recommend giving it one to three inches of water each time, unless it rains. After that, only water the tree during dry months or during a drought.
Maintain the planting site so there are no weeds or growth competing for your small tree’s nutrients. After the first two to three years after planting it, you can start to prune and shear it. To keep it at an ideal shape, the base or the tree’s crown should be about two thirds as wide as the height of the full tree. So an eight-foot tree should have a base width of five feet.
How can you introduce more (organic or natural) fresh vegetables and fruits into your diet? How could this impact the environment? How could a home garden contribute to your and your family's over all health?
