Planting a Greenspire® Linden doesn’t just enhance your yard’s beauty; it contributes to a healthier environment, making it a truly valuable addition. Planting & Care 1. Planting: Choose a location with full to partial sunlight, ideally 6 to 8 hours a day. The soil should be well-drained but able to retain some moisture. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Gently loosen the roots before placing the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil, gently tamping down to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting. 2. Watering: Young trees require consistent moisture, especially during the first few years as they establish roots. Deep watering once a week is a good practice, particularly during dry spells. Check the soil moisture regularly; if the top inch of soil feels dry, it’s time to water. Once established, the Greenspire® Linden is relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from supplemental watering during prolonged dry periods. 3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is still dormant. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and shape the tree as needed to maintain a central leader and balanced canopy. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the tree. Regular light shaping will keep it healthy and looking its best without compromising its growth. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support healthy growth. If you notice poor foliage color or growth, an application of nitrogen can be beneficial. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the appropriate amount based on the tree's age and size.
