Every time a plant is watered, the soil should be thoroughly saturated to a depth of at least 2 to 3 feet and at least as wide as a tree well. Very slow and deep watering is always recommended. During periods of extreme heat, we advise at least 1 additional time per week of watering for all varieties. For periods of heavy rain (1/2” or more) adjust accordingly by possibly skipping a watering session for that time.

We needed a smaller tree for our entry way and this fit the bill. We got great color year round from the leaves, then in the early spring we have some beautiful blooms. This is a slow grower so buy one the size you are wanting it now, it'll take a while to grow.
