    Caring and Maintenance

    Water young trees regularly until roots are well established. Trim annually from mid to late summer. Apply some fertilizer in spring in order to promote healthy growth and a good crop. Optionally, mulch in spring. Check tree ties regularly and loosen any if necessary to avoid rubbing of the stems.

    Planting

    • Planting Distance: 3.5m

    Suited to almost all, well-drained and moderately fertile soils with pH between 6.5 and 7.5 in an exposed or sheltered location in full sun.
    Before planting your tree, clean up all wandering weeds and keep a clean ring around the tree base. Water well during the first year until well established.

    Autumn is the best season for planting trees, as the soil moisture and heat allow easier and faster root establishment and regeneration of damaged root systems.

    "Did not recieve the item as described. What was sent was a different variety. I specifically wanted Gumball with a bushy branching stem, which is why I ordered from this company. Having been sent a tall single-stem different variety with thinner leaves, it is unsuitable for the niche purpose I had in mind."
