Use a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or similar mixture is recommended. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. For best fruit productions, provide moist but well drained soil. Please see the Watering section in our Learning Center. |
