Sky Pencil
Care Information
Dig the planting hole as deep as the root ball and two to three times wider. Mix some compost with the fill dirt if your soil is heavy clay or sand. As you backfill the hole, press down with your foot from time to time to remove air pockets. Water deeply after planting and add more fill dirt if the soil settles. Apply 2 to 4 inches of organic mulch over the root zone to help keep the soil moist, and water often until the plant is established and growing.
- Light Needs: Full Sun or Partial Shade
- Watering Needs: Water regularly - weekly, or more often in extreme heat or containers.
