Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun exposure.
Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball of the tree.
Plant the tree at the same depth it was in the container or nursery.
Backfill the hole with soil and tamp down gently.
Water the tree thoroughly.
Care:
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Prune in late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth and to shape the tree.
Watch for pests and diseases, and treat as needed.
Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Provide support for the tree if necessary, as it grows.
Note: The above guidelines are general and it's recommended to check for specific varieties of the tree and the climate you are in for more accurate information.
