Planting: Select an area with full sun (6 to 8 hours) and well-drained soil. Then, select a pot that's about twice the width of your plant's shipped container. Select a well-draining, quality potting soil mix to fill the pot. Add soil to the bottom of the pot, place your tree, and fill the pot until there is about a 2-inch space from the rim to the top of the soil. 2. Watering: Water slowly when you irrigate the tree to ensure even moisturizing of the soil. When the tree is in a dormant state, only provide enough water to keep the soil slightly moistened. As soon as you see newer growth coming out of the tree, you can water whenever the top 2 inches of the soil feels dry. 3. Pruning: Once you have your tree potted and comfortable, prune the branches back at a 45-degree angle with a pair of clean shears.
