Planting season:
Spring in hardiness zone 5-7, spring to summer in hardiness zone 8-9, spring or autumn in hardiness zone 10a

How to plant:
Dig a hole as deep as the current root ball plus extra 30-50%, put in the hole organic matter, humus and dried leaves and mix it with some soil, put the tree and loos little bit the root ball above the hole, plant the tree cover and don’t push the soil too much strong but not lightly because it won’t be stable, after this put mulch and dead leaves on the soil to keep moist on soil, put water every day for the next two weeks (better in the morning) , better to take care that the tree will be stable, and if not support it with bamboo or a stick that it won’t fall.
