Whether you are building a backyard orchard or want a beautiful patio plant, this tree is a perfect addition!
🌱 SHIPPED BARE ROOT - WHY IT MATTERS:
To ensure the safest transit and lower shipping costs for you, this plant is shipped BARE ROOT (without a plastic pot or heavy soil).
Less Stress: Shipping without wet, heavy soil prevents root rot and damage during transit.
Better Adaptation: Bare root plants establish more vigorously once planted directly into your native soil or favorite potting mix.
Your seedling's roots will be carefully wrapped in damp sphagnum moss/paper to retain moisture during its journey to your home.
🪴 PLANTING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Upon Arrival: Unbox immediately. Soak the roots in room-temperature water for 1-2 hours before planting to rehydrate.
• Soil: Plant in well-draining, rich soil.
• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. (Protect from harsh afternoon sun while it is still a young seedling).
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy while the roots establish.
• Hardiness Zones: Grows best outdoors in USDA Zones 8-11. (If you live in a colder climate, it grows wonderfully in a large container that can be moved indoors during freezing winters!)
